4) The highest defeat ever was in three digits?
In 2002, SOE Antananarivo lost to AS Adema 0: 149 in Madagascar. The reason: SOE started shooting in protest against a decision by the referee’s own goals. After each kick-off, they simply shot the ball into their own goal – for the entire season.
5) THE HANDLESS PLAYER
One of the figures of the Uruguay 1930 World Cup was Uruguayan Héctor Castro, who played having lost his right arm in an accident when he was 13 years old. The player went down in the history of his country and the world.
6) Women’s football was officially banned in Germany until 1970?
In Germany, women’s sport had many opponents from the start. In 1955, the DFB (German Football Association / Deutscher Fußball-Bund ) banned women’s football. Most of the athletes then continued to play outside of the clubs. It wasn’t until 1970 that they were officially allowed to do so again – with conditions: initially, women were only allowed to play with studded shoes for 70 minutes and (due to the alleged risks of injury).
