THE FIRST NATIONAL TEAM, ANOTHER FOOTBALL

"The day before yesterday, in the 'Español' field, the first football match was played between representatives of the weaker sex, who on that day were compared to the strong. This match, whose benefits went to the Women's Federation against Tuberculosis, was, by nature, expected with certain expectation, being witnessed by a regular audience and by the captain general of the region, who attended with his beautiful daughter Carmen. It was disappearing towards the end, in which the 'Giralda' side, wearing a red jersey, managed to score two goals for one, and in the first half, the 'Montserrat' came in, wearing a white one. This first performance of the woman in manly football does not satisfy us.Not only because of its poor athletic appearance, but also because the descendants of Mother Eve are forced to adopt positions that are not as suitable as they are unsightly and eliminate feminine grace", explained Mundo Deportivo's chronicle of a women's match played in Barcelona in 1914. According to a report by the Centro de Investigaciones de Historia y Estadística del Fútbol Español, it could be the first reference on women's football in the whole of Spain. And the starting point of a tortuous and complicated path, still unfinished.
