ScottishPower has been announced as the title sponsor of the 2024 Scottish Women’s Football Awards, following a sensational first year as Principal Partner of both Scottish Women’s Football and the Scottish Women’s Premier League.
The ScottishPower Scottish Women’s Football Awards will take place on Saturday 30th November and again at Hampden Park in Glasgow, in a glittering ceremony that will shine a spotlight on success and recognise achievement both on and off the pitch.
Nominations for the awards are already open, with over 700 nominations already submitted via the SWF website over the weekend.
The awards, which welcome back the Sunday Post as Media Partner, include the ScottishPower award for most sustainable club – recognising clubs that innovate and successfully navigate the many challenges facing grassroots football. This was won in its inaugural year by Dundee club Dryburgh Athletic.
Commenting, Scottish Women’s Football CEO Aileen Campbell said: “I’m delighted that ScottishPower have continued their unprecedented backing of the women’s game in Scotland by once again partnering this celebration of our achievements both on and off the pitch as title sponsors.
“This is sure to be a fantastic night, and the sheer number of nominations we have seen via the SWF website already is a testament to the success of last year’s awards in highlighting the great stories throughout our game, from the premier league role models to the volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to open up opportunities for girls to play the game they love.”
Keith Anderson, Chief Executive of ScottishPower, said: “It’s fantastic to be back as the sponsor of the Scottish Women’s Football Awards – supporting and promoting the success and achievements of the women’s and girls’ game across the country. I’ve been blown away by the passion, drive and determination we see all the way from grass roots to those at the top of the leagues, so it’s no surprise that the nominations are already rolling in. It’s going to be a cracking competition, and I can’t wait to see who makes it over the line.”
