64 cards

The 1971 Women's World Cup (II Campeonato Mundial de Futbol Femenil) was the second to be organised by the Federation of Independent European Female Football, the first one taking place a year earlier in Italy. 

This collection was produced after the tournament was over and the album consists of an 8½" x 13" double-sided card with spaces for 32 cards to be pasted on both sides. Each card is 1½" x 1¾" featuring duotone pictures of World Cup emblems, players, match action and celebrations, the majority of which feature Mexican players.

Originally 15 teams were drawn to participate in the qualifying competition but due to withdrawals some teams got to Mexico without playing any football. England failed to qualify from their 3-team group but were awarded a place at the finals when all 3 teams from another group failed to play any games. Denmark beat Mexico 3-0 in the Final, played at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City front of over 110,000 spectators.

Due to injuries, three Mexican players played for England in the fifth place play-off against France - Elsa Salgado, Teresa Viguera and Cecilia Gallegos. Gallegos returned with the team and represented England again in 1972, playing against Italy.
