Overview

Norwegian Gold
One feature stood out at the Women's Football Tournament at the Sydney Olympics of 2000 and that was the admirable fair play shown by all the teams. Eight sides played a total of sixteen games, and not one red card was shown during the whole event. The Olympic spirit was certainly alive and kicking in Australia.
