The extraordinary story of the 1971 Women's World Cup, which was held in Mexico City and witnessed by more than 100,000 fans. This landmark tournament was dismissed by FIFA and written out of sports history -- until now. COPA 71 weaves together dazzling archival footage and interviews with the former players.

Critics Consensus

Copa 71 uses the real-life saga of a group of pioneering athletes to shine a light on a chapter from sports history that's as infuriating as it is inspiring.

As incomplete a portrait as it is, there’s no arguing the bravery of the players and the statement they made at the beginning of feminism’s most formative decade.

The malevolent hypocrisy of many actions we see in Copa 71 are righteously angering, but here is a documentary that channels its anger toward setting right the official record.
