Women’s football is undergoing an unparalleled period of growth, with recent years seeing soaring popularity and marked uplifts across every level of the sport.
With a strategic objective to develop the women’s sport business, SPORTFIVE commissioned the whitepaper ‘Rise of Women’s Football – A Movement, Not A Moment’ to recognise and illustrate the value of the most popular women’s sport and underline the crucial steps needed to maximise its full potential.
Analysing women’s football through the lens of six key markets Australia, France, Germany, Spain, the UK and the U.S, the study examines four key components that are driving development in the game: brands, fans, players and media platforms.
