Changing the Game
In the 1950s and 60s, while women’s football was officially banned in England, one team refused to stop playing. They were the Manchester Corinthians, a group of fearless women who defied the rules, built a movement, and changed the game forever.
Tech Mahindra is proud to support The Corinthians: We Were The Champions, a documentary that brings their extraordinary story to life.
Preserving a Movement
We believe that progress is built by those who challenge the status quo. The Corinthians is about resilience, visibility, and the power of refusing to be erased. It highlights the fight for inclusion that mirrors our own commitment to building thriving ecosystems for diverse talent.
At a time when women were banned from playing on official pitches, the Corinthians took their talent to the streets, exhibition matches, and overseas, winning fans, trophies, and respect. Their story is a reminder that when we amplify voices, we shape a more equitable future for all and pave the way for generations to come
The story of The Corinthians: We Were The Champions is about determination, community, and the refusal to be written out of history. These women kept playing because they believed their story mattered.
