Hi--I was curious where you found the Official program from the 1988 Women’s Football International Tournament. I am writing a piece for the Sport in American History Blog on World Cup history and was hoping to be able to use it as an image. Are you the image owner?

Hi! Sorry for the late response. The official owner of the image is https://www.flickr.com/photos/canadasoccer/.

Long before there was Abby Wambach or Maribel Domínguez, Alex Morgan, Charlyn Corral, or Marta, there was Alicia La Pelé Vargas.

For a fleeting moment, before FIFA recognized the existence of women’s soccer, the Mexican women’s national team was a world power. Organized by volunteers in the Mexican Association of Women’s Football (AMFF) and discouraged by the official FMF, the women went to the inaugural women’s championship in 1970 in Italy. Shocking everyone—including themselves—el Tri Femenil finished third. The following year, Mexico hosted the second women’s championship. Over 100,000 people packed into the Estadio Azteca to see the Mexico lose to Denmark 3-0 in the finals.

Women’s football was massive in the First World War and after the war finished the football teams that had sprung up from ammunition factories remained very popular. The FA noticed, ‘women’s football? Why is everyone paying to watch women’s football? What’s this I hear about a 53,000 crowd watching women’s football at Goodison Park?’ then letters started to appear in the papers saying it was unfeminine, unladylike and medically unsound for women to play football. It was fine for them to work in ammunition factories and be exposed to all of that danger of explosions, that was fine but it was medically unsound for them to play football? The FA banned women’s football from being played on any FA affiliated pitch, which crushed it. The ban stood for 50 years.

What better way to mark the upcoming draw of the Women’s World Cup draw than to relive a past world cup. The above clip, part of a FIFA documentary showing the development of women’s football, takes us down memory lane to China in 1988 for the unofficial debut of the Women’s World Cup. The tournament would eventually be won by Norway in a final against Sweden. It would also prove to the FIFA powers-that- be that world was ready for an a Women's World Cup.

You can watch the rest of the documentary on the FIFA Youtube page. Particularly interesting are the segments featuring the 1991 Women's World Cup (held in China and won by the USA) and the 1995 Women's World Cup (held in Sweden and won by Norway)

Wendy Owen (England) touches up her eye make-up before a match, England, 1972

footfeminin

According to Reading Football Nation: Sixty Years of the Beautiful Game by Andrew Ward and John Williams, this photograph was staged:

What was different, however, was the journalists’ angle on the women’s game. Local reporters generally concentrated on the sport, but national coverage was very prejudiced. In 1969 a shy northern female player was talked into posing for a Daily Mirror picture which showed her jumping to head the ball with her shorts down near her knees. When the England squad met for the first time, special tight shirts were provided for training, and the girls were embarrassed to be photographed. Wendy Owen was asked to pose in the dressing-room applying eye-shadow even though she had never used it before. When journalists discovered that England’s Margaret ‘Paddy’ McGroarty had briefly joined a convent, she was dressed up in nun’s clothing for more pictures. Elsewhere a Daily Mirror photographer managed to stage a photograph of twelve Orient Ladies players in a communal bath and the Sun was quick to publish a photo of an injured goalkeeper trading shirts with her nominated deputy.
