Lore & Background
Women's football was banned in Brazil from 1941 until the late 1970s, when Amnesty Laws allowed political exiles back into the country. In 1979, the National Sports Council passed Deliberation no. 10 reinstating the women's game. The Brazil women's national team played their first game on 22 July 1986 against the United States, losing 2–1. The team won its first Copa America title in 1991.
