The '''''1995 FIFA Women's World Cup''''' was the second FIFA-sanctioned global women's tournament. Occurring from 5th-18th June in Sweden, the all-European Final saw Norway defeat Germany 2-0 to claim its first World Cup.

==Background==
The ''1995 FIFA Women's World Cup'' was the first to be immediately labelled as such by FIFA, the organisation now confident the competition would not taint the World Cup branding after initially calling the [[1991 FIFA Women's World Cup (partially found footage of international football matches; 1991)|1991 FIFA Women's World Cup]] the "1st FIFA World Championship for Women's Football for the M&M's Cup".<ref name="politics">[https://sites.duke.edu/wcwp/tournament-guides/world-cup-2015-guide/history-of-the-womens-world-cup/1995-womens-world-cup/ ''Soccer Politics'' providing a substantial report regarding the tournament's hosting, media coverage, and matches.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref><ref>[https://the18.com/en/soccer-entertainment/remembering-1991-womens-world-cup-final-30-years-later ''The 18'' noting the 1995 edition was the first to be given the World Cup branding immediately after FIFA refused to do so for the 1991 Cup.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref> Heading into the World Cup, it was expected that Bulgaria was to host the tournament.<ref name="eurosport">[https://theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/06/womens-world-cup-england-lucy-bronze-usa-netherlands ''The Guardian'' where Lawrence discussed commentating on the Final for Eurosport and the media attention it received.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref><ref name="politics"/> However, practical issues forced Bulgaria to step down from hosting duties.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="eurosport"/> Therefore, with the country having hosted Euro 1992 successfully, Sweden was requested at short notice to organise the tournament.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="eurosport"/>

Matches were now extended to 90 minutes, but FIFA also decided to experiment with two-minute timeouts for each half.<ref name="nyttimeout">[https://nytimes.com/1995/04/11/sports/soccer-report.html ''The New York Times'' reporting on timeouts be trialled at the tournament, to see whether it could be incorporated for Euro 1996.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref><ref name="washingtontimeout">[https://washingtonpost.com/archive/sports/1995/06/04/womens-world-cup-95-sweden/ad46f472-3c83-4128-b2f5-eb87ffcad7ec/?noredirect=on ''The Washington Post'' reporting on timeouts being used at the tournament, and the criticism over potentially being used for more advertisement time.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref> This would theoretically allow coaches to give further instructions and pep talks during matches, but it also would notably allow for increased time for advertisements.<ref name="nyttimeout"/><ref name="washingtontimeout"/> This experiment also would help decide whether time-outs could be utilised for Euro 1996.<ref name="nyttimeout"/> While the 1995 edition was no failure, some sources noted that media coverage and attendance somewhat suffered compared to 1991 and in future World Cups.<ref name="culture">[https://google.co.uk/books/edition/Soccer_in_American_Culture/z8JWEAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA184&printsec=frontcover ''Soccer in American Culture'' noting the differences in attendance and media coverage compared to 1991.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref><ref name="politics"/> Particularly, the smaller stadiums meant around 113,000 tickets were sold throughout the tournament, for an average attendance of 4,315 per game.<ref>[https://google.co.uk/books/edition/The_U_S_Women_s_Soccer_Team/_sDFVW4G8xkC?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA57&printsec=frontcover ''The US Women's Soccer Team'' noting the tournament sold around 113,000 tickets overall.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref><ref name="politics"/><ref name="culture"/> In comparison, 1991 had attendances of around 19,615 per match.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="culture"/> FIFA were seemingly happy with the tournament though, then-secretary general of FIFA Sepp Blatter stating he and others were "satisfied" with the overall competition.<ref name="norwaywin">[https://chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1995-06-19-9506190042-story.html ''The Chicago Tribune'' reporting on Norway winning the Final.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref>

In America, ESPN opted to televise matches, albeit only those featuring the United States.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="culture"/> ABC also decided not to televise the Final, since the United States had failed to reach that stage.<ref name="culture"/><ref name="politics"/> Canadian channel TSN televised the matches featuring Canada, while analysis of Swedish channel SVT indicates that it broadcast at least two matches, including the Final. Eurosport broadcast highlights in European countries including the United Kingdom; its live coverage of the Final received commentary from Angus Loughran and Amy Lawrence, the latter's appointment as colour commentator attracted media attention as Lawrence was one of the first women to provide commentary for a major football match.<ref name="eurosport"/>

==The Tournament==
Beginning on 5th June, Group A saw Germany and Japan open the tournament, the European champions prevailing thanks to a 23rd-minute strike from Silvia Neid.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> Meanwhile, the hosts' campaign started rough, as Brazil's Roseli de Belo scored after 37 minutes, the South Americans hanging on to win 1-0.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> Sweden now had to face Germany, who were gaining a reputation of beating the Swedes in big games.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> It appeared normal proceeds were occurring when the Germans led 2-0 at half-time.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> However, two goals from Malin Andersson and another from Sundhage helped perform a remarkable recovery for Sweden to win 3-2.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> Brazil meanwhile initially led against Japan thanks to an early Pretinha goal, but two strikes from Akemi Noda were enough for the latter to achieve a 2-1 comeback.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> Thus, with all teams having three points apiece, the final group games were critical in deciding qualification.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> Sweden defeated Japan after two goals in the second-half.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> Meanwhile, despite Roseli providing an equaliser for Brazil, Germany would ultimately dominate proceedings to win 6-1.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> Germany topped the group ahead of Sweden on goal difference, while Brazil were eliminated as that heavy Germany loss also put Japan ahead on goal difference.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/>

In Group B, Norway, considered one of the tournament's favourites, were the only team to win all three group games.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> The Norwegians did not even concede a single goal, demolishing Nigeria and Canada 8-0 and 7-0 respectively, while also overcoming England 2-0.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> For each win, Norway would perform their "Train" celebration.<ref name="rivals">[https://nytimes.com/1999/06/13/sports/women-s-world-cup-norway-s-rivalry-with-us-is-intense.html ''The New York Times'' detailing the developing rivalry between Norway and the United States.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref> The battle for second however heated up.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> England scored three second-half goals, including two penalties, against Canada, but nearly threw it away after the Canadians scored two late strikes.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> Ultimately, England narrowly held on to claim three points.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> After 55 minutes, Canada led 3-1 against Nigeria.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> However, unlike England, Canada failed to secure the win as Patience Avre and Adaku Okoroafor helped level proceedings.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> Nigeria faced a similar situation against England, losing 3-1 at half-time.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> But despite Rita Nwadike pulling one back in the 74th minute, the African side were unable to strike lightning twice, giving England another narrow 3-2 win.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/>

Defending champions the United States began their title defence against 1991 hosts China.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> Boasting six members who played in 1991, the US were ahead 3-1 after 51 minutes.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> However, two goals in the 74th and 79th minutes allowed China to salvage a point.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> In the other game, Denmark thrashed Australia 5-0.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> The United States got their campaign back on track with a 2-0 win over Denmark.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> But during the game's 88th minute, Briana Scurry was found to have went outside the US box while holding the ball.<ref name="hamm">[https://the18.com/soccer-videos/mia-hamm-playing-goalie-1995-womens-world-cup ''The 18'' detailing Hamm being the temporary goalkeeper for the US during the late stages of the team's Denmark match.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref><ref name="politics"/> She was immediately sent off, and despite launching an appeal, was banned for the next game.<ref name="hamm"/><ref name="politics"/> Striker Mia Hamm was put in goal for the remaining eight minutes of stoppage, but faced few challenges from the Danes.<ref name="hamm"/><ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> Australia put in a stronger performance against China, but ultimately lost 4-2.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> The Aussies also took the lead against the United States following a 54th minute Lisa Casagrande goal.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> However, the United States launched a comeback, prevailing 4-1.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> Denmark achieved an equaliser against China for 1-1 at half-time, but goals from Sun Wen and Wei Haiying sealed a 3-1 victory for the Asian side.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> The US topped the group ahead of China by virtue of a better goal difference.<ref name="results"/>

Japan and Denmark also went through as the strongest third-place sides, having a win apiece compared to Canada's sole draw.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> This also gave both teams entry plus all other quarter-finalists bar England a place at the upcoming 1996 Summer Olympics' Women's Football Tournament.<ref name="olympics">[https://fifa.com/tournaments/womens/womensolympic/atlanta1996 ''FIFA'' detailing the 1996 Summer Olympics Women's Football Tournament and noting England was replaced by Brazil.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref><ref name="politics"/><ref name="norwaywin"/> England's spot would be taken by Brazil, as England was not an IOC member and most likely because the English, Scottish, and Welsh FAs were concerned entering as Team GB may impact their status as separate World Cup and Euro teams.<ref>[https://espn.in/football/blog/espn-fc-united/68/post/2951626/why-great-britain-could-be-back-playing-football-at-the-olympic-games ''ESPN'' detailing the reluctance for a Team GB football team at the Olympic Games.] Retrieved 25th Feb '23</ref><ref name="olympics"/> In the Quarter-Finals, Japan's reprieve was short-lived though, as two goals from Kristine Lilly plus another two gave the defending champions a 4-0 win.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> Denmark likewise also went out, despite pulling a late consolation goal in its 3-1 loss to Norway.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> Germany overpowered England with a 3-0 victory, while a 1991 rematch between Sweden and China commenced.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> It appeared the hosts were exiting as a 29th minute Sun Qingmei was not being cancelled out.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> Just when it appeared to be the case, Maria Kalte scored a 90+3 minute equaliser.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> Neither side broke the deadlock in extra-time, forcing a game of penalties.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> Thanks to two saves from Gao Hong, China won 4-3 on penalties, avenging its 1991 loss to the Swedes.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> 

In the Semi-Finals, Norway sought to avenge its 1991 Final defeat to the United States.<ref name="rivals"/><ref name="politics"/> After ten minutes, a corner-kick into the United States box reached Ann Kristin Aarønes, who headed the ball towards goal.<ref name="politics"/> It rebounded off the bar and into the net, giving the Norwegians a 1-0 advantage.<ref name="results"/><ref name="politics"/> Norway came close to doubling their lead on a few occasions, including a missed free-kick and a penalty appeal that the referee was unsympathetic towards. However, motivated to avoid losing their crown, the United States launched a comeback in the second half.<ref name="politics"/> During the late stages, available footage of the match shows two American long-shots rebounding off the bar. Alas, Norway held on to hand the US their first-ever World Cup defeat.<ref name="rivals"/><ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> This, plus the 1991 encounter and rematch at the 1996 Olympics, caused an intense rivalry to be developed between the two sides.<ref name="rivals"/><ref name="politics"/><ref name="olympics"/> Tiffany Milbrett described Norway as the team's "archenemies" and claimed some of her team cried post-match.<ref name="rivals"/> Norway's Linda Medalen post-match stated that beating the US was fun simply because of the upset the Americans would experience, Medalen believing this was a sign of weakness.<ref name="rivals"/><ref name="politics"/> However, Norway suffered a key setback, as their captain Heidi Store was suspended for the Final for accumulating multiple yellow cards.<ref name="norwaywin"/><ref name="politics"/>

Elsewhere, Germany generally provided the most opportunities against a fatigued China, but it seemed that extra time was approaching.<ref name="politics"/> However, Bettina Wiegmann gave the Germans victory after capitalising on a poor Chinese clearance during another attack.<ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> Therefore, an all-European Final occurred at the Råsunda Stadium, with around 17,158 in attendance.<ref name="norwaywin"/><ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> In the midst of downpour, Norway fended off the younger German side, taking the lead thanks to a 36th-minute strike from Hege Riise, who scored after avoiding a slide tackle and striking from long-distance.<ref name="norwaywin"/><ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> A few minutes later, Norway launched a counter-attack near the German box.<ref name="norwaywin"/><ref name="politics"/> Manuela Goller saved the first shot, but it rebounded towards the path of Marianne Pettersen, putting Norway 2-0 in front.<ref name="norwaywin"/><ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> From there, the Norwegians controlled proceedings throughout the second half of the game against the European champions to become the world champions.<ref name="norwaywin"/><ref name="politics"/><ref name="results"/> Post-match, Riise exclaimed "I can't believe it's true. This is the answer to my dreams."<ref name="norwaywin"/> Norway manager Even Pellerud stated "After the first 15 minutes, I was never afraid. This is a great feeling because we have struggled so hard since 1991 to improve our play. My players were not afraid of the ambition of being world champions."<ref name="norwaywin"/> Around 25% of Norway's population watched the encounter live.<ref name="rivals"/>

==Availability==
While this World Cup received generally less media coverage, some full-match broadcasts have resurfaced over the years.<ref name="politics"/> The Final has been uploaded by various sources, including SVT and Women's Soccer History. Meanwhile, WoSoNostalgia uploaded the United States' match broadcasts against China and Denmark, and TSN's broadcasts of Canada's matches against England and Norway. A recording of the Canada-Nigeria game has also emerged on YouTube. Meanwhile, SVT uploaded its coverage of the Sweden-China game; to view outside of the country, one needs to connect their VPN to Sweden. 

Other full-match broadcasts remained hard to come by until May 2023, when FIFA began to release full Women's World Cup replays through its FIFA+ service in the run-up to the 2023 Women's World Cup.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/WomensSoccer/comments/1b96p49/fifa_wwc_replays/ r/WomensSoccer discussing the release of full match replays on FIFA+.] Retrieved 16th Jun '24</ref><ref name="fifa+">[https://www.plus.fifa.com/en/showcase/fifa-women-s-world-cup-sweden-1995/7eab6991-806a-4ca9-a6fb-d79b133348cb?gl=gb providing an archive of full match replays for the tournament (21 out of 26 available as of 13th June 2024).] Retrieved 16th Jun '24</ref> As of 16th June 2024, 21 out of 26 matches can be found on the platform. The five matches currently unavailable on FIFA+ include United States vs Nigeria (available on YouTube), Japan vs United States, Sweden vs China (available via SVT), United States vs Norway, and China vs United States (available on YouTube). Deducting the games available through external sources means only the US' matches against Japan and Norway are partially lost, though highlights of them can be found online.
