Brilliant and fairplay BUT hardly any sponsors in media

Let’s speak about football. If you are interested in an open game, brilliant passes, fair play, an uninterrupted and happening game, I do hope you did not miss the European Football Championship - the women’s championship that is ! Despite the fact that women’s football has characteristics that make it just as, or even more, interesting than the endless pushing and shoving of… let’s say the English male league, the players and clubs are struggling to get acknowledgement and creating a sustainable economy for their teams. There is little interest from commercial sponsors, media coverage is limited, and spectators at the arenas are sometimes failing to turn out in numbers.
