València Cup Girls bets on women's football
Today, around 40 million women play soccer. But for many years the Football Association did not support the practice of women's football. A position that nowadays does not fit in our head, but that has influenced the uneven evolution of the participation of men and women in sports tournaments.
History of women's football
To put ourselves in context, we are going to tell you a bit about the history of women's football in general.
The first official women's soccer match was on March 23, 1895 in London, when teams from the north and south of the city defied the bans of the soccer association and decided to hold a match.
But it was not until 1971 that the ban on the practice of women's football ended and the first international match endorsed by FIFA was held.
Es desde entonces cuando el fútbol femenino empezó a ser un deporte popular, aunque el índice de participación de las mujeres quedaba muy lejos del de los hombres.
