when was the first women's soccer game played
Women's association football Women may 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.[5] There are, however, a number of opinions about the accuracy of dates, the earliest estimates at 5000 BCE.[6] Reports of an annual match being played in Scotland are reported as early as the 1790s.[7][8] The first match recorded by the Scottish Football Association took place in 1892 in Glasgow. In England, the first recorded game of football between women took place in 1895.[9][10]
National Women's Soccer League The NWSL season runs from Aprilâ€“September with each team scheduled for 24 regular season games, 12 each of home and road.[5] At the end of the regular season, the team with the highest point total is awarded the regular season title. The four clubs with the most points from the regular season standings qualify for the NWSL playoffs, which consist of two semifinal single knockout matches (top seed hosts fourth; second hosts third), with the semifinal winners advancing to the championship final hosted by the team with most regular season points.[6]
