The speech that changed women's football

Hear the untold story of how a science teacher from Oslo made a speech that would change the future of women’s football. Ellen Wille became the first female to speak at a FIFA Congress and in a room full of men demanded women should have a FIFA World Cup and play football at the Olympics.
Then FIFA Vice President Sepp Blatter took to the stage and accepted the challenge, although it did take some time.
Within two years FIFA staged a Women’s Invitational Event and still not ready to call it a FIFA World Cup in 1991 the Women’s FIFA World Championship for Women's Football for the M&M's Cup took place. That’s not easy to say!
Finally, although it took 9 years, in 1995 Sweden hosted the first FIFA Women’s World Cup and significantly for Ellen it was her home nation Norway who lifted the trophy.

Caroline Barker has been to Oslo to track down Ellen Wille, plus she speaks to former president of the Football Association of Norway, Per Ravn Omdal, current President Lise Klaveness and Norway’s 1995 World Cup winners Hege Riise and Linda Meladen.
