The landscape for women’s sports is seeing increased commercial and media attention. In field hockey, the Spanish Women’s National team secured a partnership with NoNiNá to serve as the official casual clothing provider for the 2026 FIH Hockey Women’s World Cup.

In boxing, WBC President Mauricio Sulaimán noted the rapid growth and economic impact of the sport, citing Claressa Shields’ recent title reclamation as an example of rising popularity. This momentum is supported by new media initiatives, such as the Global Boxing Network’s upcoming launch of ‘Women’s Boxing Weekly’. Hosted by Al Bernstein and Cynthia Conte, the program is designed to provide a dedicated platform for covering world champions and emerging prospects.
