International football competition
The 1988 FIFA Women's Invitation Tournament , or International Women's Football Tournament , was organised by FIFA in China from 1 to 12 June 1988. The competition was a test to study if a global women's World Cup was feasible following the experience of non-FIFA invitational competitions such as the Mundialito (1981–88) and the Women's World Invitational Tournament (1978–87). The competition was a success and on 30 June FIFA approved the establishment of an official World Cup for 1991 , which would also be held in China.
Twelve national teams took part in the competition – four from UEFA , three from AFC , two from CONCACAF and one from CONMEBOL , CAF and OFC . European champion Norway defeated Sweden 1–0 in the final to win the tournament, while Brazil clinched the bronze by beating the hosts in a penalty shootout. Australia , Canada , the Netherlands and the United States also reached the final stages.
