England’s Lionesses are no strangers to making history.
The past decade has been rich in landmark moments; a first tournament medal, a first major trophy, and a first title defence – on foreign soil to boot.
When Sarina Wiegman’s side play Iceland in Reykjavik on Saturday (17:30 BST) they will reach another milestone – the 500th fixture for England’s senior women’s team.
The game is important for securing qualification for next year’s World Cup in Brazil, with England keen to win more silverware in the famous white shirt.
But regardless of the result, the match will be etched in history as a reminder of how far the English women’s game has come.
In 1921, the Football Association (FA) banned women’s football, considering the game “most unsuitable for females”, external.
The decision consigned women’s football to park pitches and small venues for half a century before the decision was overturned in 1971.
To mark 500 not out, BBC Sport takes a look at 11 defining moments in the history of England’s women.
