In a period where women’s football is experiencing a significant boom, this panel will provide an important opportunity to reflect on the challenges and opportunities the sector faces.
In recent years, women’s football has gained unprecedented visibility and recognition.

But what are the next challenges to ensure this momentum continues? What strategies can be adopted to attract further investments and increase participation at all levels?
During the panel, industry experts, sports executives, athletes, and representatives from women’s organizations will discuss how women’s football can expand its influence and attract new opportunities. Key topics will include:
- Investments and Sponsorships: How companies can contribute to the growth of women’s football through strategic partnerships and sponsorships.
- Training and Development: The importance of training programs for coaches and referees to ensure a solid and professional foundation in the sector.
- Media Visibility: The opportunities offered by digital and traditional media to promote women’s football and reach a wider audience.
- Infrastructure Development: Investing in sports facilities to ensure that female athletes have access to high-quality facilities and adequate resources.
The panel will not only be a moment of discussion but also an important networking opportunity. Participants and speakers will have the chance to connect, share ideas, and collaborate on future initiatives. It will be a unique opportunity to build strategic relationships that can support the growth of women’s football and promote a culture of equality and respect in sports.
Don’t miss the chance to participate in SFS24. Together, we will explore the potential of women’s football and how we can work together to ensure a prosperous and inclusive future for all athletes.
