A hundred years ago there was a team called "Dick Kerr Ladies" in the UK, which attracted both public and money. At most, 53,000 spectators came and watched and 14,000 reportedly had to wait outside. They simply couldn't fit.

Me and photographer Daniel Zdolsek went to England to try to tell the story of the team that made success and drew more crowds than the gentlemen, but which was banned by the powerful men of football. And there will be more in SVT.

We also met 14-year-old Darcie Barry in Wales who is not allowed to play football at school because it is “a boys sport” - but who stood up, despite his poor age, and told me right back: “Do you know what? I fucking shit in that. " And, as a letter on the record, she received just that from Prince William himself.
The Prince was impressed by Darcy's courage and hoped for a change in the school.

A cool trip to say the least. And more stuff happens out there.

Glass roofs are shattered and audience records are broken

In Argentina, Macarena Sanchez recently got right to both his club and the union after a lawsuit and from now on, women who play football in the South American country for the first time in history can call themselves professionals. Backed by the international player union FIFPro.

It is definitely moving. Glass roofs are shattered, audience records are smashed and major clubs in Europe start women's teams for the money the gentlemen have withdrawn. In addition, FIFA's award for the world's best player was awarded for the first time to Norwegian Ada Hegerberg at the end of last year. And hello! The US women's team sued the union, Iceland and Norway have introduced rules for equal compensation for their players.

In Sweden things are a little slower. We have slipped there. The women's agreement has been improved since February, but the Swedish Football Association still does not talk about the contracts outward and there are players who claim that it is also visible on the pitch - many countries have caught up and past.

Finnish journalist Kaj Kunnas put it this way in a documentary by Discovery ahead of the Pyeongchang Olympics: “You invest in boys to make them good. In girls you only invest when they are good. ”Nobody has put their finger on the problem in a clearer way before.

Of course there is a long way to go. But cross the roof, I think it is starting to look like some bane meme. The women's revolution is here to stop.
