The Vatican has started a women’s football team for nuns and other female staff, 48 years after the men’s side was launched

The new squad is made up of women who work in the tiny sovereign state, or the wives and daughters of male employees [FONT=&quot]

So far there are no nuns lacing up their boots .....

Tag or tackle?

I bet tag.

A women's football team at the Vatican? Is this a serious post??

It being in Europe, I'll bet it is what we Americans call soccer and not what Americans think of as football.

That’s right. European football is the equivalent of North American soccer so no tackling required.

I'd go and watch them and be in their cheering section

I played regular football in high school with other girls until they stopped having the game, don't know why they stopped it.

I doubt the Vatican Women's Soccer team will be a European powerhouse. Currently, there are about 30 females living in Vatican City. And most are at an advanced age.

I don't know, I think watching a bunch of elderly nuns playing soccer might be enormously entertaining!

 

[Sassycakes]

I wish the Nun's that taught me were still alive or young enough to play. I would pay a lot of money to see them get knocked around !LOL

Can’t imagine they’d be following this tradition of celebrating a goal somehow........
