It pays to invest in women sports. If you have been following the progression of women soccer in Europe, you shouldn't be surprised Spain is in the finals of the Women's World Cup. The U.S. dominance in women soccer is now in question because the Europeans have more than caught up. Their federations and their multi billion soccer clubs have invested tons of money in women soccer, and it is bearing fruit in this Women's World Cup, and women soccer in Spain is a perfect example of that. This article about Spanish women soccer is from 2019. #womenworldcup2023 #FCJuvenat

Congratulations to Spain 🇪🇸 who just beat England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 1-0 to win its first FIFA Women’s World Cup ⚽️🏆!!! Viewership & Attendance have been up significantly compared to prior Women’s World Cups but there are still huge disparities in terms of #EqualPay. These disparities are attributed to considerably smaller contracts for broadcasting rights as well as the Women’s World Cup still being in its infancy (2023 marks only the 9th tournament since its start 32 years ago). For the 2023 Women's World Cup, FIFA is offering a total of $150M, compared to $440M for the 2022 Men's World Cup. 👀According to CNN, women players on average will earn 25 cents for every dollar earned by the men last year. Team and Player Payouts — Group stage: $1.56M/Team ($30K/Player) Round of 16: $1.87M/Team ($60K/Player) Quarters: $2.18M/Team ($90K/Player) 4th (AUS): $2.45M/Team ($165K/Player) 3rd (SWE): US$2.61M/Team ($180K/Player) 2nd (ENG): US$3.01M/Team ($195K/Player) 1st (ESP): $4.29M/Team ($270K/Player) NOTE: 2022 men’s Champion Argentina took home $42M in last year’s tournament. ❓What can be done to close the gap? ❓Realistically, how many years will it take to get there?

🎉 Congratulations to Spain for their victory at the record-breaking FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™ 💸 + 570M revenues generated 📣 75,784 attended the final between Spain and England, following the sold-out opening match to watch the Matildas' victory over the Republic of Ireland 🏟 + 30,000 average attendance throughout the tournament 🎫 + 1.8 million tickets sold These are some of the numbers of the most attended standalone sporting event in women’s sports history, highlighting its increasing relevance in the global sports landscape. 💡 Spain's triumph does not come out of the blue. It represents the result of long-term planning and a strategic approach towards the professionalisation of football. ⚽The top two women’s soccer divisions in Spain have gained professional status from 2021-2022. 🏆 In 2022, Spain won both the Under-17 and Under-20 Women’s World Cup and FC Barcelona Femení won two out of the last 3 editions of the UEFA Women's Champions League. 🤝 The Liga F entered into a media rights deal with sports broadcaster DAZN worth around €35mn over five years. Italy is on its way to carry out a similar path.

Interest is growing significantly in women's football in Europe, highlighted by a recent string of record-breaking attendances in matches across the sport. While the vast majority of the value of European clubs is driven by the brand strength and revenue-generating capacity of the men's football programs, UEFA expects the commercial value of European women's football to grow nearly six times by 2033. With this growth, we expect European women's football clubs will become financially sustainable over the medium term.

It has been met with controversy, from last-minute sponsorship announcements to concerns around the event's local impact. Despite criticism, the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™ reflects the rising commercial interest in women's football since the France 2019 finals. Australia, a co-host of the event, faces its unique challenges. While the Women's World Cup brings a global spotlight, the country's football scene struggles with issues like representation, scandal, and a lack of media attention. Experts argue for urgent, challenging conversations around these issues to truly benefit from the Cup. Yet, there is optimism. For some, the Cup isn't just an event; it's a game-changer. At the Football Writer’s Festival staged under the shadow of Sydney’s iconic Great Harbour Bridge last weekend, there was considered debate about the implications of the tournament. Some cites money, media, and shifts in mentality as reasons the Cup will alter the landscape of Australian football. What's clear is that the Women's World Cup has the potential to reshape not only women's football but also the countries and societies that host it. It's a chance for growth, but only if we are willing to confront the difficult challenges that accompany it. #Partnership #Broadcasting #SportsBusiness #Commercial #Sponsorship #Football #WomensFootball #Finance #People #Data #Tech #Intelligence #Investment
