Women’s football celebrated its true coming of age in November of 1991 when the Women’s World Championship was brought to life on the ambitious initiative of Dr. João Havelange, FIFA President at that time.
The first competition kicked off in the People’s Republic of China to large and enthusiastic crowds. With twelve nations competing, it proved to be a resounding success.
In keeping with the true spirit of the celebration, six female referees or assistant referees were appointed among match officials for the first time in FIFA history. Claudia de Vasconcelos of Brazil, the referee for the 3rd-place match, became the first woman to officiate at this level for FIFA.
The American team, led by a dominating forward line dubbed. The Triple-Edged Sword by the Chinese media, tore through the tournament to win the first-ever world championship for women’s football.

J185 第一届世界女子足球锦标赛

2-1为“会徽”。图案采用了广州美术公司何世德先生设计的本届锦标赛会徽。会徽将世界的东西两半球设计成足球形式，中间是一位运动感很强的抽象化了的女足运动员踢足球的身影。足球上有一羊形符志，意思是正逢羊年，又在羊城举办。会徽呈灰色调，选择红色作为邮票的底色，使会徽更加醒目、突出。
2-2为“英姿”。描绘一位女足运动员的健美英姿，生动地体现了巾帼英雄的气质。背景所衬的绿底色， 既象征着足球比赛的绿茵场，也寓意着运动的生命常青。

2枚邮票的底色相对应，产生相互衬托的效果和喜庆、热烈的气氛。
