Copa 71

In August 1971, Mexico City's Azteca Stadium hosts football teams from England, Argentina, Mexico, France, Denmark, and Italy for a monumental event, Copa 71. Though it boasts grand sponsorship, extensive TV coverage, and over 100,000 fans per match, this tournament is unique: all players are women. Despite the roaring atmosphere and players treated as celebrities, the unofficial Women’s World Cup is dismissed by FIFA and global football associations, virtually erased from history.
