Women's World Invitational Tournament
The
Women's World Invitation Tournament
(the
Chunghua Cup
) was a triennial global invitational
tournament for national and club teams
in
women's football (soccer)
. It was held four times, in
Taipei
, Taiwan. It was one of the most prestigious women's football events, prior to the advent of the
Women's World Cup
and
Women's Olympic Football
. The competitions were organised by the
Chinese Taipei Football Association
and their success brought pressure on the global
governing body
FIFA
to organise its own women's football tournaments.
SSG Bergisch Gladbach
of West Germany was the most successful participant, with two titles. They signed Taiwan's
Chou Tai-ying
after the 1987 tournament.
