“The Offside Museum highlights when women were banned from playing soccer”
— The Drum
A museum of those
brave enough to play.
During 1921 to 1979, women were legally banned from football in countries across the globe.
Many defied this oppression to valiantly play on, but were forced into a corner of secrecy, leaving this critical era never properly recorded. Until now.
Case Study
Film Launch
The empty museum
In partnership with the football museum, we created an empty museum that was being filled as the stories showed up.
The world unites to unearth a museum of those brave enough to play.
A global crowd-sourcing effort gathers memories, evidence and first-hand accounts of these pioneering heroes, making the thousands of documents and photographs public via the Google Arts & Culture arena. The sport’s first female referee, Léa Campos, appears in a documentary film, having withstood 15 arrests that collectively couldn’t restrain her spirit.
