"Investing in women's football or other women's sports does not need to come at the expense of men's." The 2023 Women's World Cup was an event to remember with sky-rocketing attendance figures, half a billion dollars generated in revenue and two billion people tuning in from across the world.⚽️ Misha Sher (Global Head of Sport, Entertainment & Culture) gives a powerful insight into what this worldwide success means for the business of women's sport.📈 Click the link below to read the full article.👇 https://lnkd.in/eT6KFXZb #WWC #Advertising #Thoughtleadership

Happy International Women's Day to all the amazing women in my life! I'm sharing one last interview of my series Women in Sports vlogs, and it is my interview. I asked my friend and collegue Paul Warloski to interview me from a male perspective. My goal was to summarize and bring forth some of the messages I heard during my 10 interviews with 13 incredible women in February. I was touched by the stories I heard, and it took me time to digest and form a direction I wanted to take the project from here. During my interview, I cite some of the messages I heard, but it is by far not all. I feel like I only scratched the surface highlighting barriers that women face in sports. I give some actionable steps that ANYONE and EVERYONE can take to support women in sports. If we look at participation numbers alone, and draw conclusions that women are not interested, we miss the mark completely. We, as partners, NEED to ASK THE QUESTIONS: Why are not women participating in sports? What are the barriers and challenges that women face? These interviews are a start to understand why women are not showing up, and what we can do to change sports so we can welcome and include women in sports. I welcome and invite all the men in my network to sign up for my Women in Sports newsletter where I send each interview once a week to your inbox, so you can enjoy and start understanding what women face in different roles in sports. 🤸♀️ https://lnkd.in/gWY3wqYc If you are in the sports business in any way, I think you will gain a lot more perspective on how you can make your sports business flourish if you include women the way women want to be included.

📖 ⚽ Women's Football Industry Diary: ✨ Dear diary, recently, brilliant leaders in the women's football industry around the world have made some great achievements: ⚡🌐 1) Mercury/13, the pioneering multi-club ownership group for women's football, just made history with its first acquisition. They've secured a controlling stake in Como Women, the Serie A Femminile eBay team based in Lake Como, Italy. Como Women, promoted to Serie A in 2022-23, is set for transformation under Mercury 13's vision to enhance business operations and support athletes. Mercury 13 aims to revolutionize women's football, especially in Europe and South America. Co-CEOs Victoire H. Cogevina Reynal and Mario Malavé bring a wealth of experience, determined to elevate women's football globally. #Mercury13 #WomenInFootball #ComoWomen 🏟️ 🎥 2) In 1971, the non-official women's world cup in Mexico at the historic Azteca Stadium marked a revolutionary moment for women's football, breaking barriers with record crowds of 110.000 fans enjoing the final Mexico vs Denmark, impressive sponsorship from Martini & Rossi and others, and extensive TV coverage. Despite being overlooked by FIFA, it set the stage for the remarkable journey of women's football around the world. A new film called Copa 71 just lunched in UK about this historic moment directed by Rachel Ramsay and #JamesErskine, and produced by New Black Films, Dogwoof and Westbrook. Soon will be globally available for everyone. 🏟️🎉 3) History at Emirates Stadium! On March 3, 2024, a 13 all-female grounds team prepared the pitch for the Women’s Super League clash between Arsenal and Tottenham. With over 60,000 tickets sold, this milestone moment, supported by the Women’s Super League, Women in Football, and Barclays, aims to inspire young talents to consider careers in grounds management, an industry where only 2% are currently female. Let's celebrate the power of diversity in sports! #WomenInSports #GroundsManagement #WomensSuperLeague" 💚 4) The The Football Association sets a precedent by introducing mandatory female health training for Women’s Super League and Championship clubs. In collaboration with The Well HQ, the initiative offers crucial courses and guidelines on pregnancy, menstrual cycle, and pelvic health. Following a comprehensive State of Play Project report, clubs are now required to appoint a female athlete health lead, emphasizing the importance of holistic well-being in women's sports. The move responds to the urgent need for practical support and expertise, marking a significant step toward normalizing comprehensive health care for female footballers. #WomensHealthInSports #FAInitiative 🤩 Can't wait to tell you more, see you next time! #Football #Womeninfootball #womenfootballdiary #writinghistory
