The Forgotten History of The 1970 Women's World Cup

from All Of It with Alison Stewart · host WNYC

In August of 1971, fifty years after the UK's Football Association banned women's soccer competitions, a group of women's soccer teams gathered in Mexico City for the first unofficial Women's World Cup. The documentary, "COPA 71," tells the story of this monumental - and largely forgotten - sporting event. Directors Rachel Ramsay and James Erskine, as well as Carol Wilson, team captain of the 1971 England team join us to discuss the film, which premieres tomorrow at IFC Center and on digital streaming platforms.

We speak to the creative team of "COPA 71," a documentary about the untold history of the first Women's World Cup.
