History and Inaugural Edition:

As far as the history of the competition is concerned, it dates back to the 1970s when multiple unofficial women's world cup tournaments were held. One of the reasons behind this timeline is that the countries started adopting and promoting Women's soccer in the 1970s. During the late 1980s, a number of FIFA members had their established Women's teams, with multiple competitions taking place in different parts of the world.

Initially, FIFA was hesitant about starting a Women's World Cup in an attempt to protect the main brand of the Men's FIFA World Cup. However, the inaugural edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup was finally held in 1991. China had hosted the inaugural edition, while 12 teams had participated in the competition. The response to the initial tournament was encouraging, as about 18,000 fans attended each match on average.
