The Guinea-Bissau women's national football team represents Guinea-Bissau in international women's football. It is governed by the Football Federation of Guinea-Bissau. It has played in two FIFA-recognised matches, both in 2006 against Guinea. The country also has a national under-17 side which participated in the 2012 Confederation of African Football qualifiers for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. Football is the most popular women's sport in the country. A women's football programme was established in 2004, followed by the creation of a women's national league.
In 1985, few countries had women's national football teams.[1] While the sport gained popularity worldwide in the ensuing years, Guinea-Bissau's team only began playing more than two decades later. By the end of 2006, the team had played in two FIFA-recognised matches. The first was on 28 October 2006 against Guinea in Bissau, which ended in a 1–1 tie after Guinea-Bissau led 1–0 at half-time. On 12 November 2006, the team played in their second FIFA-recognised match in Conakry, where Guinea-Bissau lost to Guinea 1–3.[2] At the time, the team held three training sessions a week. The team has not participated in some of the major international and regional football competitions, including the Women's World Cup, the 2010 African Women's Championship and the 2011 All-Africa Games.[3] [4] [5]
The team's average FIFA world ranking since 2006 is 119th. Its highest-ever ranking was 92nd in December 2009, and its lowest ranking was 144th in December 2007. Guinea-Bissau's best-ever rise in the rankings came in March 2008, when the team climbed 23 places compared to its previous FIFA ranking.[6] In March 2012, the team was ranked the 135th in the world by FIFA and 30th in the Confederation of African Football (CAF).[7] In June 2012, they moved up five spots to 130th in the world but fell to 33rd in Africa.[6]
Guinea-Bissau has a FIFA-recognised under-17 football team, which was established in 2006 but did not play any matches that year. The team competed in the CAF qualifiers for the FIFA U-17 World Cup to be held in Azerbaijan in September 2012. They did not advance beyond regional qualifiers.[8]
The development of women's football in Africa faces several challenges, including limited access to education, poverty amongst women, inequalities and human rights abuses targeting women.[9] [10] [11] [12] Many quality football players leave to seek greater opportunities in Europe or the United States.[13] Funding for women's football in Africa is also an issue with most of the financial assistance for women's football coming from FIFA, and not the national football associations.[13]
Guinea-Bissau won its independence in 1974, the same year its national football federation, Football Federation of Guinea-Bissau, was founded.[3] The federation became a FIFA affiliate in 1986.[14] [15] Women's football is provided for in the constitution of the Football Federation of Guinea-Bissau, and the organisation has four full-time staff members focusing on it.[14]
Football is the country's most popular sport for women and is supported by football programmes in schools.[14] A national women's football programme was established in 2004.[16] By 2006, the country had 80 total football clubs, five of which were mixed and three of which were for women only.[14] There were 380 registered female players, and a women's team played in a national football championship.[14] Three years later, there were 24 active women's teams in Guinea-Bissau.[16]
