The History of Women's Football
The Football Association banned women's teams from playing on association grounds. The real reasons for the ban have been debated by historians for years. Prejudice and discrimination are clear factors. Many of the officials in the FA believe that football was a game for men and only men. It is definitely possible that the leaders of the FA were worried about the connections to trade unions and political groups. In Brazil, there were over 10 women's teams playing regularly in the 1930s. Competitions were organised in France as well between 1917 and 1933. Even Nigeria had women's games in the 1940s. However, like the UK, many countries eventually banned women's football.
