WOMEN IN FOOTBALL


Despite being banned by law between 1941 and 1979, Brazilian women never stopped playing football. Brave, fearless, and determined, they faced prejudice and risked imprisonment to pursue their love of the game. We tell the story of women’s resistance over these four decades until the first official Women’s World Cup in 1991. Many of the images in this installation are recent discoveries, never before shown to the public. Find out more about the Women’s World Cup tournaments from the structures presented here.
