Did you know... that while Réunion women's national football team is not recognised by FIFA, the team has played full internationals against South Africa, Uganda and Zimbabwe?

DYK nomination

2005 Tournament

The 2005 tournament where they beat Seychelles and Mauritius was a youth tournament (I believe, U-20, but possibly U-19). So this was not the full national team. I am the author of the source article at RSSSF.com and have written to the website to have the information updated, but so far this hasn't been actioned.

If you want to include it, then please get the material updated on RSSF.com updated and link to it as a source. So long as a source agrees with the edits, I don't particularly care much. --LauraHale (talk)

I didn't want to include it - I wanted to remove it, and I was justifying the removal. I've since taken out the material (it refers to the U-18 youth team of Réunion) and I have a source to back up this removal. (http://www.nation.sc/index.php?art=3661). The problem with sources agreeing with edits is that sometimes sources can be out of date or wrong, in which case knowledge of the subject area is important. Mcruic (talk) 12:17, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

then my bad on interpretting the source. In any case, if it refers to a women's under-17 team, it should probably be put into its own section in the article to talk about an under-17 reunion national team like some of the other articles about football teams that barely appear to exist have. If it is a men's team, then major bad and don't know why I misread it that badly and yeah, remove. (Sorry. Late and cranky at the world.) --LauraHale (talk) 12:21, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First match

Réunion actually played 2 matches before this date. They played in the qualification rounds for the 2000 African Championship, winning their first match 4-3 against Egypt on 30th July, 2000 in Saint-Paul, Réunion, and drawing the return leg 1-1 on 11th August, 2000 in Alexandria, Egypt to qualify for the final tournament in South Africa. http://rsssf.com/tablesa/afr-women00.html Mcruic (talk) 11:42, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you follow the example of other sources in the article an integrate the information in so it is properly sourced? At some point, I would like to take more articles about African women's football teams to good and sourcing needs improvement. (Though in this case, other issues need improving because the whole background and development is a rather jumbled mess.) --LauraHale (talk) 12:10, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History

I'm not sure it is necessary to point out which competitions Réunion DID NOT compete in. I say this because only 2 are singled out (2010 African Women's Championship and 2011 All-Africa Games). Why these 2 only? Réunion has also not participated in EVERY edition of the African Women's Championship except 2000. They have also not participated in EVERY edition of the All-Africa Games (not just 2011). They have also not participated in EVERY edition of the Women's World Cup and Women's football tournament at the Olympic Games. I will change the article to reflect this.
