About this listen

Over the past century, women’s football has been suppressed, banned and even criminalised. Yet, in 1971, a Women’s World Cup held in Mexico City (20 years before the first “official” FIFA Women’s World Cup) reached unprecedented numbers. The Final was watched by a record-breaking crowd, making it the highest-attended women’s sporting event in history. And until 2023, nobody knew.


Listen to the incredible story of footballers fulfilling their dreams and defying all odds, inspired by the 2023 documentary, Copa 71, which shows never-seen-before footage of this historic event.
