Copa 71: Film shows record-breaking women's World Cup

In 1971, an unofficial women’s football World Cup attracted crowds of more than 100,000, but was quickly erased from history. Now a new film tells the remarkable story of the tournament, and the disappointment that followed.

Although no official attendance figures exist, estimates suggest the final was watched by more than 100,000 people - which would make it the best-attended women’s sporting event in history.

Ironically, the tournament owed its success to the fact that world football’s governing body Fifa tried to block it.

Once the tournament was over, however, the participants came back down to earth with a jolt.

The English team’s manager, Harry Batt, was blacklisted by the fledgling Women’s Football Association, which was in the process of putting together the first official England team. Some players were also banned.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The film’s opening is narrated by tennis legend Serena Williams, who is an executive producer alongside sister Venus.

The pair are “two of the greatest female athletes of all time and are both heavily involved in activism and in wanting to promote stories which deepen our understanding of the history of women’s sport”, the film’s co-director Rachel Ramsay says.

Although no official attendance figures exist, estimates suggest the final was watched by more than 100,000 people - which would make it the best-attended women’s sporting event in history.

“There are whole films, series and books written and made about single men’s tournaments, matches, goals and players - and they’re done multiple times,” Ramsay says.

The documentary received glowing reviews after its premiere at last year’s Toronto Film Festival, with Screen International’s Fionnuala Hannigan calling it “a crowd-pleaser, like those record-breaking matches”.

The Hollywood Reporter’s Daniel Fienberg said it “exposes an obscured chapter in history and thrusts its heroes into a well-deserved spotlight”.
