The FIFA Women's World Cup Trophy

FIFA Women's World Cup- official international competition in women's football, held under the auspices of FIFA. The first championship was held in 1991, and since then it has been held once every 4 years, and always on next year after the men's championship.

24 teams take part in the final part of the competition, including the team of the country hosting the championship. The duration of the final stage is a month. Qualifying rounds are held for three years and determine the remaining 23 participating teams.

It is considered the most important tournament in modern women's football. The first championship, which was held 61 years after the first similar tournament in men's football, was attended by 12 countries. Representatives of four countries (USA, Norway, Germany, Japan) became world champions in seven draws.

Story

Hosting the first tournament was the idea of ​​FIFA president João Havelange. The first championship was held in China in 1991 and hosted participants from 12 countries. In 1995 also 12 teams took part in the World Championship in Sweden. In 1999, the tournament was held in the United States, 66,000 spectators visited the stands of the stadiums. The United States is a four-time champion, the German team has become the world champion twice, and the tournament has also been won by the teams of Japan and Norway.

The 1999 World Cup ended with one of the most famous moments in the history of women's football. Team USA defender Brandi Chastain ripped off his T-shirt, as men usually do, after converting the decisive penalty in the post-match final series against China and celebrating the victory. The 1999 final was held at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California and drew a women's sports-record attendance of 90,185.

In 1999 and 2003 the championships were held in the USA. The 2003 tournament was supposed to be held in China, but the organizers decided to postpone it due to the SARS epidemic in Asia. As compensation, the Chinese team participated in the tournament without a qualifying stage, and the championship in 2007 was automatically transferred to the Chinese side. In October 2007, Germany received the right to host the 2011 championship, and in March 2011, Canada became the host country of the 2015 tournament. It was also decided that in 2015 in final stage The championship will be attended not by 16, but by 24 teams.

In 2007, US team captain Christine Lilly took part in her fifth World Cup, becoming the third player in the history of men's and women's football to achieve a similar indicator.

Final tournament

16 teams took part in the last final tournament. Two rounds were held in three weeks: group and playoffs. At the group stage, the teams were divided into 4 groups of 4 teams each. After Germany defeated Argentina 11-0 in the opening match of the tournament in 2007, FIFA President Sepp Blatter said that matches with an overwhelming advantage of one of the teams "have a negative impact on the development of football" and FIFA should seriously consider expanding the number of participants of the final tournament up to 24 teams. On 3 December 2009, FIFA decided that 24 teams would take part in the 2015 final tournament. In each group, the tournament is played in one round, each team meets each only once. Matches of the third, last round start at the same time. The top two teams in the group advance to the playoffs. Since 1994, three points have been awarded for a win, one for a draw, and zero for a loss (previously two points were awarded for a win). Places in the group are distributed according to the following principle:

  • Most Points
  • In case of equality - the best difference between goals scored and conceded
  • In case of equality of points and goal difference - by the number of goals scored.

In the event that two teams have all three indicators equal:

  • The highest number of points in matches among themselves;
  • In case of equality - the best difference between goals scored and conceded in matches between themselves;
  • In case of equality of points and goal difference - by the number of goals scored in matches between themselves.

If all criteria are equal best team determined by lottery. In the playoffs, the teams play one-round matches in which the loser is eliminated from the competition. If it is not possible to determine the winner in regular time, a Extra time, and if the winner was not revealed in it - a penalty shoot-out. The first round of the playoffs is called the "second round" in the British tradition and "one-fourth of the final" in the Russian tradition, the winners of the groups meet with the teams that took second places in their groups. The winners advance consecutively to the semifinals and finals.

An excerpt characterizing the Women's World Cup

- But as? I asked very interested.
Stella replied cheerfully:
- Oh, that was very funny! - and after a little thought, she added, - but it’s also dangerous ... I searched all the “floors” for the past incarnation of my grandmother, and instead of her, a completely different entity came along her “thread”, which somehow managed to “copy” my grandmother’s “ flower” (apparently also a “key”!) and, as soon as I managed to be glad that I had finally found it, this unfamiliar entity mercilessly hit me in the chest. Yes, so much so that my soul almost flew away! ..
"But how did you get rid of her?" I was surprised.
- Well, to be honest, I didn’t get rid of it ... - the girl was embarrassed. - I just called my grandmother ...
What do you call "floors"? I still couldn't calm down.
– Well, these are different “worlds” where the spirits of the dead live... In the most beautiful and highest, those who were good live... and, probably, the strongest too.
- People like you? I asked smiling.
– Oh, no, of course! I must have gotten here by mistake. - The girl said sincerely. – Do you know what is the most interesting? From this "floor" we can walk everywhere, but from the others no one can get here ... Is it really interesting? ..
Yes, it was very strange and very exciting for my “hungry” brain, and I so wanted to know more! gave me something (like, for example, my “star friends”), and therefore, even such a simple childish explanation already made me extraordinarily happy and made me delve even more furiously into my experiments, conclusions and mistakes ... as usual, finding in everything that happens even more incomprehensible. My problem was that I could do or create “unusual” very easily, but the whole trouble was that I also wanted to understand how I create it all ... Namely, this is what I have not been very successful with yet ...
What about the rest of the floors? Do you know how many there are? They are completely different, unlike this one? .. - unable to stop, I impatiently bombarded Stella with questions.
– Oh, I promise you, we will definitely go there for a walk! You will see how interesting it is there!.. Only it is dangerous there too, especially in one. There are such monsters walking around! .. And the people are not very pleasant either.
“I think I have already seen similar monsters,” I said, not very confidently, remembering something. - Look here...
And I tried to show her the first, met in my life, astral beings who attacked the drunken dad of little Vesta.
- Oh, so it's the same! Where did you see them? On the ground?!..
- Well, yes, they came when I was helping a good little girl say goodbye to her dad ...
- So, they come to the living? .. - my girlfriend was very surprised.
I don't know, Stella. I still don’t know almost anything at all ... And I would so much like not to walk in the dark and not learn everything only by “touch” ... or from my own experience, when they constantly “hit on the head” for this ... What do you think Wouldn't your grandma have taught me something too?..
“I don’t know… You should probably ask her about it yourself?”
The girl thought deeply about something, then laughed loudly and said cheerfully:
– It was so funny when I just started to “create”!!! Oh, you would know how funny and funny it was!.. At first, when everyone “left” me, it was very sad, and I cried a lot… I didn’t know then where they were, and my mother and brother. .. I didn't know anything yet. It was then, apparently, that my grandmother felt sorry for me and she began to teach me a little. And ... oh, what happened! .. At first, I constantly fell somewhere, created everything “topsy-turvy” and my grandmother had to watch me almost all the time. And then I learned ... It's even a pity, because now she comes less often ... and I'm afraid that maybe someday she won't come at all ...
For the first time I saw how sad sometimes this little lonely girl is, despite all these amazing worlds she creates! relatives of an unexpectedly abandoned child who was terribly afraid that the only native person - her grandmother - would also one day leave her ...
“Oh, please don’t think like that! I exclaimed. - She loves you so much! And she will never leave you.
– No... she said that we all have our own life, and we must live it the way each of us is destined... It's sad, right?
But Stella, apparently, simply could not be in a sad state for a long time, since her face lit up again with joy, and she asked in a completely different voice:
- Well, let's look further or have you already forgotten everything?
- Well, of course we will! - as if just waking up from a dream, now I answered more readily.
I could not yet say with certainty that at least I truly understand something. But it was incredibly interesting, and some of Stella's actions were already becoming more understandable than they were at the very beginning. The little girl concentrated for a second, and we again ended up in France, as if starting from exactly the same moment where we had recently stopped ... Again there was the same rich crew and the same beautiful couple who could not think of anything to come to an agreement ... Finally, completely desperate to prove something to his young and capricious lady, the young man leaned back on the back of the regularly swaying seat and said sadly:
- Well, be your way, Margarita, I don’t ask for your help anymore ... Although, only God knows who else could help me see Her? .. I just don’t understand when you managed to change? .. And does this mean that we are not friends now?
The girl only smiled sparingly and turned away to the window again... She was very beautiful, but it was a cruel, cold beauty. The impatient and, at the same time, bored expression frozen in her radiant, blue eyes showed in the best possible way how much she wanted to end this protracted conversation as quickly as possible.
The carriage stopped near a beautiful big house, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Farewell, Axel! - Easily fluttering out, she said coldly in a social way. - And let me finally give you good advice- stop being a romantic, you are no longer a child! ..
The crew set off. A young man named Axel stared fixedly at the road and mournfully whispered to himself:
- My cheerful "daisy", what happened to you? .. Is this really all that remains of us, having matured?! ..
The vision disappeared and another appeared... It was still the same young man named Axel, but a completely different “reality” lived around him, stunning in its beauty, which looked more like some kind of unreal, implausible dream...
Thousands of candles sparkled dizzily in the huge mirrors of some fabulous hall. Apparently, it was someone's very rich palace, perhaps even a royal one ... An incredible multitude of "to the nines" dressed up guests stood, sat and walked in this wonderful hall, dazzlingly smiling at each other and, from time to time, as one , looking back at the heavy, gilded door, waiting for something. Music was softly playing somewhere, lovely ladies, one more beautiful than the other, fluttered like multi-colored butterflies under the admiring glances of equally stunningly dressed men. Everything around sparkled, sparkled, shone with reflections of various precious stones, silks rustled softly, huge intricate wigs coquettishly swayed, strewn with fabulous flowers ...
Axel stood leaning against a marble column and with an absent look observed all this brilliant, bright crowd, remaining completely indifferent to all its charms, and it was felt that, like everyone else, he was waiting for something.
Finally, everything around started to move, and all this magnificently dressed up crowd, as if by magic, split into two parts, forming exactly in the middle a very wide, “ballroom” passage. And a completely amazing woman was slowly moving along this aisle ... Or rather, a couple was moving, but the man next to her was so simple-hearted and nondescript that, despite his magnificent clothes, his whole appearance simply faded next to his amazing partner.
The beautiful lady looked like spring - her blue dress was completely embroidered with bizarre birds of paradise and amazing, silver-pink flowers, and whole garlands of real fresh flowers rested in a fragile pink cloud on her silky, intricately styled, ashy hair. A lot of strings of delicate pearls wrapped around her long neck, and literally shone, shaded by the extraordinary whiteness of her amazing skin. Huge sparkling blue eyes affably looked at the people around her. She smiled happily and was stunningly beautiful....

French Queen Marie Antoinette

Immediately, standing apart from everyone, Axel literally transformed!.. The bored young man disappeared somewhere, in the blink of an eye, and instead of him... there was a living embodiment of the most beautiful feelings on earth, which literally “devoured” with a flaming look a beautiful lady approaching him...
- Oh-oh-oh ... how beautiful she is! .. - Stella exhaled enthusiastically. She is always so beautiful!
- Have you seen her many times? I asked with interest.
- Oh yeah! I go to see her very often. She's like spring, isn't she?
– And you know her?.. Do you know who she is?
- Of course! .. She is a very unhappy queen, - the little girl became a little sad.
- Why is she unhappy? For me, it’s so very happy, I was surprised.
- It's only now... And then she will die... She will die very terribly - they will cut off her head... But I don't like to watch this, - Stella whispered sadly.
In the meantime, the beautiful lady came abreast of our young Axel and, seeing him, froze in surprise for a moment, and then, blushing charmingly, smiled at him very sweetly. For some reason, I had the impression that around these two people the world froze for a moment ... As if for a very short moment for them there was nothing and no one around, except for the two of them ... But then the lady moved on , and the magic moment broke up into thousands of short moments that intertwined between these two people into a strong sparkling thread, so as not to let them go again...
Axel stood completely stunned and, again not noticing anyone around, followed his beautiful lady with his eyes, and his subjugated heart slowly left with her ... He did not notice what glances the passing young beauties looked at him, and did not answer their shining, inviting smiles.

Count Axel Fersen Marie Antoinette

Axel really was, as they say, “both inside and out” a very attractive person. He was tall and graceful, with huge, serious gray eyes, always amiable, restrained and modest, which attracted both women and men equally. His correct, serious face rarely lit up with a smile, but if it did happen, then at such a moment Axel became simply irresistible ... Therefore, it was completely natural that the attention of the charming female half increased towards him, but, to their common regret, Axel was only interested in one creature in the whole wide world - its irresistible, beautiful queen ...
– Will they be together? - I could not stand it. “They are both so pretty!”
Stella just smiled sadly, and immediately "dipped" us into the next "episode" of this unusual, and somehow very touching story...
