Reply to comment by ToberOct in Republic of Ireland Women's National Team qualified for their first Women's World Cup in history. The location for their opening game in July 2023 is set to be moved to a larger venue after an incredible demand for tickets. by ToberOct
The (English) Football Association in 1921 banned women from playing at the stadiums of its mens clubs, a lot of other countries followed suit, and that wasn't lifted til 1971, so it sadly makes sense it took til 1973 to get a womens team organized

Wait, so women couldn't even make their own sports teams or even use the same stadiums as men?? That's fucked up

Some womens soccer teams still existed but they had to play elsewhere such as fields intended for other sports. of course it was limited and that was as you say fucked up.

It was worse with the GAA women teams weren't even allowed train on the men's GAA pitches, they actually ended up training on the soccer pitches. Especially camogie

I've only ever heard it through word of mouth, but from different people around the country. Also it wasn't a rule just GAA clubs being asses
