The tournament was held in Italy, known as the
"Coppa del Mondo femminile Trofeo Martini & Rossi" (after the trophy supplied
by the main sponsors). Matches were played over 2x35 minutes.
Organized by FIEFF (Federazione Internazionale Europea di Football Femminile), not
affiliated to FIFA.
An initial announcement (reported 28-2-70) listed the eight participating teams
as Argentina, Denmark, France, and Italy (Group A), Brazil, Czechoslovakia,
England, and USSR (Group B).
By 12-5-70 these had been revised to include Austria, Mexico, and Switzerland
instead of Argentina, Brazil, and USSR, with West Germany and Sweden listed
as reserves in case of withdrawals. France later withdrew and were replaced
by West Germany.

NB: Mandiková and Ševčíková were Czechoslovak nationals living in Denmark
(as political refugees) and playing (like most of the Danish side) for
Femina BK (Gladsaxe). The team played in uniforms of Milan AC after

out at the same time).

tr: Harry Batt
NB: Sue Lopez (often incorrectly credited with a goal against West Germany),
Jill Long, Sue Buckett, and Dot Cassell (all Southampton players) were
selected but renounced on travelling to the tournament just before the
start; the original invitation to enter the tournament had been
extended to Luton-based Chiltern Valley FC, the club which (like
Femina BK for Denmark and SC 07 Bad Neuenahr for West Germany) formed
the backbone of the team.
