The UEFA Women’s Championship History, First Edition Results, Format, And Other Details

The history of women’s football has taken many turns and twists, beginning in Europe. An unofficial women’s European tournament for national teams was organized in Italy in 1969 by the FICF, which later merged with the Italian Football Federation. Italy and Denmark respectively won both championships. In order to qualify for the 1984 European Competition for Women’s Football, the first international competition organized by UEFA was held in 1982.

Sweden won the 1984 Finals. In the 1987 Finals, Norway prevailed. Since then, Germany has won eight out of ten editions of the UEFA Women’s Championship, dominating the competition. In 1993, Norway prevailed, and in 2017, the Netherlands. The 2013 victory marked Germany’s sixth straight triumph in the tournament.

The competition was initially a four-team affair. The first time eight teams competed was in the 1997 edition. 2009 saw the third expansion, which included 12 teams. Starting in 2017, 16 teams will fight for the title. Around 1990, UEFA granted this competition the title of a European Championship due to the rising popularity of women’s football. For the FIFA Women’s World Cup, only the 1991 and 1995 editions were used as European qualifying tournaments; beginning in 1999, women’s national teams began using the distinct World Cup qualifying competition and grouping system.
