After a historical performance at the EURO 2025, optimism was rising about women’s football in Italy. Yet, challenges persist: Investors and clubs remain cautious despite growing interest. Lucrative broadcasting deals would be key for further growth.

In 2025, women’s football entered uncharted financial territory. Transfer records fell three times in a single summer, and global spending soared by more than 700% in just four years — clear proof that the women’s game has become a global business as much as a sport.

Social media has become a powerful tool for engagement in the sports world and women’s football is no exception. As the game continues to grow globally, clubs are increasingly turning to platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to expand their reach and connect with fans. Yet, the landscape remains uneven: while some clubs boast massive followings and a strong digital presence, others are struggling to find their footing.

UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 is breaking records everywhere. Attendance at the group stage has been higher than ever before, and viewing figures are soaring. At the heart of it all are the 368 players. Analyzing their clubs and leagues provides interesting insights into the strength of women’s football in different countries.

The EURO 2025 is kicking off in Switzerland. The tournament, projected to be the biggest European Championship in history so far, is chasing the attendance record set in England three years ago. But in terms of prize money, a new benchmark is already set.

After decades of lacking a professional outlet for female footballers at home, Canada has finally launched its first independent professional women’s football league: the Northern Super League (NSL). Officially kicking off in April 2025, the NSL features six founding clubs—Montreal Roses FC, Vancouver Rise FC, AFC Toronto, Ottawa Rapid FC, Calgary Wild FC, and Halifax Tides FC—and aims to create a sustainable, business-focused model for growth.
