Critics Consensus

Copa 71 uses the real-life saga of a group of pioneering athletes to shine a light on a chapter from sports history that's as infuriating as it is inspiring.

[S]tirring, exciting, and lively, a kinetic tale that finally spotlights the revolutionary event that didn’t quite turn the tide but certainly started the wave.

With this poignant tribute, however, the legacy of that glorious summer should finally get the recognition it deserves — even if, according to the film, to this day Fifa still refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of the tournament.

Rated: 4/5

But one thing is clear from Copa 71. Whatever the forces aligned against them, women will never stop fighting for freedom, equality and the opportunity to do the things they love.

Despite the shocking sexism sometimes on display, however, the mood of Copa 71 remains mostly upbeat, as it should, because these women not only persisted but triumphed.
