“The industry has to?create mental availability around Women's Football”

It is undeniable that this has been a leap year for Women’s Football:

• Record attendance in stadiums: FC Barcelona, the Euros, NWSL, etc.
• Ground-breaking broadcasting deals and investment rounds
• Landmark partnership and sponsorship deals

Overall,?the women’s game is driving more investment than ever before.

The question is…now what? How can these dynamics fuel the next level of?growth?

This was one of the major questions we asked ourselves when designing the WFS Europe program and the outcome was an amazing panel we share with you on today's podcast, with fantastic data,?insights and expertise.?

• Claire Bloomfield?from the European Club Association
• Andrea Ekblad?from Dazn
• Samantha Lamberti?from Nielsen

Participate in a panel moderated by?Kate Hamer?from AxisStars which was a masterclass to understand the present and future of the women’s game.

They discuss:

• The need for Women’s football to create “mental availability” as other sports like F1 have done.
• Where the flywheel needs to start to grow the game to the next level.
• The partnerships frameworks that must emerge and other dynamics that need to happen to professionalize the sport even further.
