The 1984 European Competition for Women's Football final was a two-legged football tie to determine the winner of the 1984 European Competition for Women's Football.[1] It was the first UEFA Women's Championship final, UEFA's top football competition for women's national teams. The match was contested by Sweden and England at Ullevi, Gothenburg, on 12 May 1984, and at Kenilworth Road, Luton, on 27 May 1984.[2]

Watched by a crowd of 5,552 at Ullevi, dominant Sweden took the lead in the first leg when Pia Sundhage scored in the 57th minute. A crowd of 2,567 at Kenilworth Road watched England level the tie though Linda Curl's 31st minute goal in extremely wet and muddy conditions.[3] Sweden then beat England 4–3 on penalties to secure the inaugural UEFA Women's Championship.[4][5][6][7]
