In one of the most iconic and impactful matches in women’s soccer history, the U.S. Women’s National Team defeated China PR 5-4 on penalty kicks on July 10, 1999, to win the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
A massive crowd of 90,185 packed into the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. to watch the final, setting a record which would stand for decades as the largest attendance ever for a women’s sporting event and to this day it still the largest to watch an international women’s soccer match.
