I observe that the whole of North africa are not represented in the women africa nations cup. they are mostly from west africa down. i also observe that other arab nations dont produce female footballers. could there be a connection to what am thinking? whats ur take on this? |

The Libyan National team (female) was once a very strong team in Africa, Algeria was in this year's tournament, Tunisia is also another, so you need to check your facts before springing up threads, google is your friend, i think female football in Africa started in 1997 (could be wrong). |

honeric01: China 91 was the first female world cup we went to. I still recall Chioma Ajunwa (the olympic long jump Gold medallist) was part of that team |

Re: Why Are There No Female Football Teams From Arab Countries by dominique(f): 9:36am On Nov 17, 2010 |
were there any successive tournaments between china '91 and USA '99. i don't think so |
Re: Why Are There No Female Football Teams From Arab Countries by semid4lyfe(m): 9:30am On Nov 20, 2010 |
dominique: Actually there was. . . Sweden 1995 which was won by Norway. Germany, USA and China finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th respectively. Nigeria was also at that competition and we got an 8-0 drubbing from Norway in our first match, played a 3-3 draw with Canada in the second and lost narrowly 2-3 to England in our last match. We haven't missed a FIFA Women Competition at any level (Senior, U-20 and U-17). |
