Women have been playing "football" for as long as the game has existed. Evidence shows that an ancient version of the game (Tsu Chu) was played by women during the Han Dynasty (25–220 CE). Two female figures are depicted in Han Dynasty (25–220 CE) frescoes, playing Tsu Chu.[1] There are, however, a number of opinions about the accuracy of dates, the earliest estimates at 5000 BCE.[2]
[edit]
Europe's First Documented Matches
Association football, the modern game, also has documented early women's matches. In Europe, it is possible that 12th c. French women played football as part of that era's folk games. An annual competition in Mid-Lothian, Scotland during the 1790s is reported, too.[3] [4]. In 1863, football governing bodies introduced standardized rules to prohibit violence on the pitch, making it more socially acceptable for women to play. The first women's match recorded by the Scottish Football Association took place in 1892 in Glasgow.

Womens football as an organized sport with refs and proper teams and a league and all was first introduced in the early 20th century. I believe it was during the 2nd World War when all the men were fighting but it could have been during the first WW

Womens football was pioneered in this country shortly after world war 1 and Mr Atrapado's response was a classic example of the ego tistical italian male terrified of losing his macho reputation.
