FA Apologizes for Decades-Long Ban on Women's Football

NOS Nieuws

The Football Association (FA) in England has issued apologies for a 50-year ban on women's football, stemming from a discriminatory policy enacted in 1921. This ban prevented women from playing football on club grounds and led to the exclusion of women's teams from competitions. The apology is linked to a documentary highlighting the experiences of the Corinthians women's team, acknowledging the resilience and determination of female players who persisted despite the restrictions.
