Copa 71
The attendance record for any women’s sporting event belongs to an intensely competitive gauntlet fought both within and outside the sphere, a record perpetrated by you as likely not to have heard before. It is Copa 71, the first, albeit in an unofficial capacity, international women football tournament. Una co-dirección de James Erskine y Rachel Ramsey, donde el productor ejecutivo fue el icono del tenis Venus Williams y Alex Morgan del futbol remota a la historia sobre la lucha por el derecho a practicar futbol por las mujeres y the 1971 revolution centric tournament that ensued.
“Copa 71” includes not only interviews of players, archival footage and photographs of the barrier breaking event but also portrays the tangle of the women who were central to soccer. As was the case with so many other pursuits that were available to women, when these women were children, it was accepted that soccer was a sport for men.
Sofia Zaragoza, a Mexican player, narrates playing in secret as a child and that she was aware that her father would beat her up if she was caught since it was.
not how gals were supposed to behave. Elena Schiavo, the Italian player, recalls an incident of beating the school mates who did not allow her to play and such situations pushed her spoiling for a relationship ending in marriage, kids and cooking; English player Carol Wilson enlisted into the armed forces and stated that she pictured, “I bet if I join the Air Force, I will be able to play soccer there.”
This disconnection from social measures at an international sphere was supported by an internal ban as well. In 1921, the Football Association of England prohibited women from participating on official member grounds the most accessible fields (this ban was not to be lifted until 1970).
And, along with the many movements that characterized the 1960’s, there was also on the verge of that decade women’s soccer teams although rather against public feeling came up. “Maybe it was a political gesture,’’ says Elvira Aracén not of Turkish origin but of Mexican descent. With the establishment of these teams, the players experience the ridicule and sexualisation that accompanied male audiences who were present at their matches.
Still, businessmen, spurred by a localized woman tournament in Italy the year before, forecasted dollar signs in a Women’s World Cup held in Mexico in 1971 despite FIFA’s many machinations and threats to stop it.
Not only did society stigmatize women playing soccer, but it was also attempted through pathology that the game was detrimental to women’s breasts, wombs and health in general. It was characterized by uncleanliness, immorality, and insolence, albeit Copa 71 benefited from it. The occasion bore elements of irony and revenge. Mr. Stanley Rous, president of FIFA warned Mexico that if they did allow the women to participate in the proper arenas, they would not be invited to contest in other cups. Because of this exigency, Copa 71 got played at the Palisco and Azteca which are the biggest stadiums in the country. Because of the size of 110,000, unyielding promotion started.
In order to measure consideration for women’s voices for information, “Copa 71,” addressing the troubles and the past of the sport and the project, also spares valuable time for the women to speak. Jump cuts, memories of enjoyable facings of bus breakdown on the road or strong boned stories of clustering for backward payments the film takes its telling from every goddamned aspect Owner’s chronicles of creation are here framed with tales of scenic collapse and pride a man would feel at the return of every battlefield for edge not diluted by time fifty years on.
In any case film constitutes an underlying bond of sisterhood that acknowledges the cross, which they carried together. However, these women not only came from France, Italy, Mexico, Argentina, Denmark, England, etc. but were also linked by love for a sport and belief that they have a right to play it. Story, reminiscent and contemporary, and inspiring, is about the successful, historical event which as some may argue didn’t change the course of an ocean, but has definitely begun one.
