History

Historical Context

The Scottish Women's Football Association (SWFA) was established in 1971, following a long struggle for recognition after women's football faced bans from the 1920s to the 1970s. The SWFA's formation led to the creation of the Women's Premier League in 2002, which now includes prominent clubs like Rangers and Hibernian, reflecting the growing visibility and competitiveness of women's football in Scotland.
