EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the excitement and historical significance of a women's football match between England and France, held at Pershing Stadium in Paris on July 7, 1920. The English team, represented by the players on the left wearing striped shirts, hailed from Dick Kerr's electrical works in Preston. The French team, dressed in white, is arranged on the right. The match, which drew an impressive crowd of 12,000 spectators, resulted in a hard-fought 1-1 draw. The Dick, Kerr Ladies Football Club, based in Preston, England, was one of the most successful and influential women's football teams of the early 20th century. The team, which was not affiliated with the Dick Kerr electrical company, gained widespread popularity through their skill and determination on the pitch. Their matches often attracted large crowds, both in the UK and on their European tours. The 1920 match against France marked an important moment in the history of women's football. The large attendance demonstrated the growing interest and support for the sport, and the close scoreline highlighted the competitiveness of the teams. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, showcasing the passion and dedication of the players and their fans. Pershing Stadium, named after General John J. Pershing, was a significant venue for sporting events in Paris during the early 20th century. The stadium, which had a capacity of 30,000, played host to various athletic and football competitions, including the 1924 Summer Olympics. The 1920 women's football match between England and France at Pershing Stadium represents an important chapter in the history of women's sports and the growing recognition of women's athletic abilities.
