Women's Football In England
Women's football has been played in England for over a century, sharing a common history with the men's game as the country in which the Laws of the Game were codified. Women's football was originally very popular in the early 20th century, but after being banned by the men's Football Association, its popularity declined.

History Origins It is impossible to locate the precise moment at which women started playing football, just as much of the history of the men's game is uncertain.
