The global women’s sports industry is projected to exceed $1 billion in revenue by 2024, thanks to increased investments, growing visibility, and a surge in fan engagement. A prime example of this success is the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, which became the first edition to break even after years of financial loss, as reported by Quartz.
