In this study I describe the persons who got the most publicity in media during womens football European Championship in 1984. The aim of this study is to examine what the persons are saying about the social structures in the Swedish football family in 1984 and what social actions they did to the raise of womens football. The persons that I focus on is Anette Börjesson, Pia Sundhage, Ulf Lyfors, Ann Jansson, Anna Svenjeby and Lena Videkull. The connection between these people are that they were all part of the successful Swedish national team that become historical when they won the first official womens European Championship in football 1984. I examine what the persons has to say in the Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet, Expressen, Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet. I relate my results to the theories that Britt Marie Ringfjord is presenting in her book “Fotboll är livet – En medieetnografisk studie om fotbollstjejer och TV-sport” about social structures and social actions. My result is that it was a clear social structure in the womens football in the year of 1984. During the girls childhood it was the boys who decided if the girls were allowed to play football in the school playground, or not. Even when the girls become older it was clear that they didn’t have same possibilities as the boys, because they didn’t have as much organized teams to play in as the boys had. When the girls became women they didn’t get paid as the men did and they didn’t played in front of as much spectators as the men. My study also show that the women not did play football for the fame or the money, because it was not much fame or money in womens football. They played football because they loved to do it and to be with friends.
