Published on June 09, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Women's sporting events in London demonstrated their economic weight in 2025. The Women's Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham, with 81,885 attendees and 5.8 million television viewers, led a collection of 54.7 million euros for the local economy. Figures that confirm the growing interest and profitability of these competitions.

Technology and logistics: the backstage of women's sporting success 🚀

The organization of these events required advanced technological infrastructure. Digital ticketing systems, 5G networks for live broadcasts, and spectator flow analysis platforms optimized the experience. Additionally, augmented reality tools on stadium screens and internal navigation apps reduced waiting times. Real-time data management allowed for adjusting transport and catering logistics, a replicable model for future sporting events.

The kick-off that left sponsors breathless 💥

While the players celebrated the decisive try, the city's accountants were already tallying revenues. It is rumored that even the hot dog vendors ran out of stock, something that had not happened since the men's final in 2019. And so, while some still debate whether women's sport sells, the numbers from Twickenham respond with a resounding: yes, and it even leaves change for the subway.
