Women’s Football Match in 1918 | AI Enhanced Film [ 4k,60 fps]

1918 women’s soccer match brought to life with AI. During WW1, with male players notably absent, the phenomenon of women’s football took off. Munition workers, dubbed ’munitionettes’ formed dozens of teams and began competing to large crowds across Britain. It became a source of hope and cheer during a period of grim death and despair. There was some consternation expressed at the sight of women in “shorts!“ Who’s Playing and where? The first team in striking white tops and dark shorts has been identified as Vickers Ladies FC of Dartford. We think the other team in white and dark tops and dark shorts is the Sterling Ladies FC of Dagenham - “The Invincibles”. This team rivaled the best of them with 34 wins between 1917 and 1918. The location is Chalkwell Park, Southend. Thanks to Patrick Brennan for his help. His extensive pictorial history of early women’s football is well worth a look.
