October 2007


At the beginning of the 21st century women’s football, like men’s football, has become professionalized and is growing in both popularity and participation. From the first known professional team in 1984, to the hundreds of thousands of tickets sold for the 1999 Women’s World Cup, support of women’s professional football (soccer) has increased around the globe. It is now the third most popular sport in the world.

However, as in other sports, women have struggled for pay and opportunities equal to male football players’. Major league and international women’s football enjoys far less television and media coverage than the men’s equivalent. For instance the 2006 Algarve Cup, a significant international tournament, was televised very little in Europe (Eurosport did broadcast some games) and none at all in the USA (where the women’s game arguably has the highest profile) and other regions. Another example is that FIFA’s Women’s web site links to information about the men’s team. In spite of this, the popularity and participation in women’s football is expected to continue growing.

ATI Soccer recognizes the importance of Women Soccer in the whole world. In general, the girls do not have the complete support for trainings, opportunities and sponsorship as the male soccer.

Focusing on International Soccer Training and Professional Players Development, ATI Soccer works closely to Top Women Soccer Institutions in Brazil to give the women the same range of soccer improvement.

The competition was originally organised as the Beach Soccer World Championships, with the first tournament taking place in 1995 in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The tournament was deemed a success after being won by the host nation.

The Beach Soccer World Championships were administered by Beach Soccer Worldwide, a Spanish based organisation, with FIFA’s endorsement. Prior to FIFA taking over the tournament in 2005, Brazil won nine out of ten Beach Soccer World Championships, with Portugal winning the other title.
