Why this event?

Women deserve equal opportunity in sport and greater representation in audiences.

Women make up 51% of the population and hold the purchasing power in 72% of households. Yet many sports are unable to drive significant female participation, marketing messages do not speak to women, and women’s professional leagues are in their infancy.

Engaging more women and girls in sport is not just about equality, it’s about the health of the sport industry as a whole. It’s simple: More women in sport means a bigger industry.

You can do your part.
