Gender-neutral UFWC

[pogi]

I have been going through football records, trying to create a gender-neutral UFWC. That is, whichever country holds the title will lose it if either the Men's or Women's national team is beaten. I've been able to get as far as 16 October 1985, when Czechoslovakia men's team took the title from Sweden.

Following that, Czechoslovakia men's next loss would be 26 May 1986 against the Republic of Ireland. However I cannot find any records of Czechoslovakia women's team in that time period. Only that they played seven games between 1985 and 1987 with no wins. Who they played against, when, and wether they drew or lost is all data I cannot find record of.

Can anyone help me with this?

The results I have so far are as follows.

The title follows the same path as the men's UFWC until 9 November 1973, when England W took the title from the Netherlands.

09/11/1973 - England W
14/11/1973 - Italy M
23/06/1974 - Poland M
03/07/1974 - West Germany M
20/06/1976 - Czechoslovakia M

The title would then resume to the men's UFWC path until 1985.

16/03/1985 - Netherlands W
11/06/1985 - Sweden W
16/10/1985 - Czechoslovakia M

Which leads me to where I'm currently stuck. Turns out, women's football results are a lot harder to find than men's. That's still true with today's football, but even more so for 1985's results.

An interesting project!

I'll try to look if I can find something in Czechoslovak newspaper archives; might take a while, though, and I can't guarantee completeness.

German Wikipedia has a full list of games for the Czechoslovak women's team... which starts with a Finnish game in 1986, which the Czechoslovaks supposedly won. RSSSF's list for Finland also claims a 0:2 loss to Czechoslovakia in Lahti in July 1986. I was unable to find any trace of that game in the newspaper archive.

The book linked as a source in the Wikipedia article is available on Google Books... but not the specific pages listed as the source.

The search, confusedly, continues...

Thanks for your help, january1may. That's some good information.

According to the English Wikipedia, before the 1987 wins Czechoslovakia Women's National Football Team went two years without a victory in seven games. It does not say who those games were against, when they were, and if they were tied or lost. Those are the games that I need to find.

I've looked at many English and Czech languages sites. Maybe I need to look at other language options.
