The group has signed a multi-year agreement to become the official insurance partner of the English women’s football championship, managed by WSL Football.

A partnership focused on player protection

This contract is part of a broader trend of valuing women’s football, where every stakeholder seeks to provide an optimal framework for its talents.

A groundbreaking insurance product in the works

The details of the future insurance product co-developed by WTW and WSL Football remain to be finalized. However, the focus will be on covering risks specific to female players, whether related to their health, careers, or sporting practice. This initiative adds to the efforts to further professionalize women’s football in England, where the Barclays WSL stands as a model of excellence. With this agreement, WTW reaffirms its position as a key partner in women’s sports, while WSL Football strengthens its strategy for protecting and developing its players. A collaboration that could inspire other leagues around the world.
