Rapidly revived football in Norway, Sweden and Germany, where the plant-based amateur teams began to appear real professional football clubs. It is these countries have appealed to FIFA to organize the first world championship in women’s football, support the organization had the largest at the the company for the production of sports clothing and shoes “Adidas”. International Football Federation, finally gave up women’s football has finally been officially recognized. And in 1991, the first football World Cup of women. The first winner was the American World Championship team, which is still considered one of the favorites. Judged that meeting our Soviet referee Vadim Zhuk.

It should be noted that football players then professionally trained nowhere, some have moved out of football and track and field hockey, but most girls do not have a sports education. Among them were nursery governess, and a teacher, and a saleswoman, and housewives, and even representatives of the oldest profession. But in fact, women’s football in Russia have come much earlier. The first information about it contained in another magazine “Russian sport,” dated 16 May 1910. And already in 1911 in Moscow, created three female Club – “Pushkin”, the team of Business School and Peter-Razumovskaya League. August 3, 1911, the first truly organized the match.

Soccer women’s clubs appeared chaotic, “here and there” and just randomly disappeared. For example, in 1923 in the village was established Nevinnomysskaya team of workers of the railway, which competed with men’s teams. But it lasted long, as most girls are married or simply left this venture. But the real women’s soccer in the Soviet Union began to develop only in the late 80’s.

Only in Russia talks about the sport continue to cause an indulgent smile, not Women’s Championship on television and there was little written in the press.
