I work as a senior associate in our Sports Group in London, where, as a former athlete, I have real insight into the sports industry and the issues faced by governing bodies, athletes and clubs.

As women’s sport continues to grow, the UK Government demonstrated its commitment to support this growth by announcing recently that the FIFA Women’s World Cup and UEFA Women’s European Championship will be added to the UK’s Listed Events Regime. This follows on from the addition of the Paralympic Games in January 2020 as the Government seeks to introduce greater inclusivity and diversity.
