Women's Football In Argentina
Women's football in Argentina has struggled to find a mainstream audience. While women's football clubs have existed in Argentina for decades, only in 1991 a group of clubs was allowed into the AFA (Argentina Football Association). Initially seven teams, the country saw the number of clubs with female teams rising to 35 in 1998, and then steadily plummet due to lack of interest. Many women face prejudice and stigma for playing the game. The first recorded women's football match in Argentina was played on 13 October 1923 at Estadio Ministro Brin y Senguel, then Boca Juniors' stadium. Teams were named ''Argentinas'' and ''Cosmopolitas'' and 6,000 spectators attended. Argentinas won 4–3Un libro para repensar el fútbol femenino
