A few reminders

● Only 20% of broadcast time is dedicated to women’s sports.
● Only 39% of women are licensed and/or considered high-level athletes.
● Regarding professional and thus paid practice, they earn on average, across all sports, 3 to 4 times less than men. Most female athletes are forced to find work outside of their sport to live and cover the costs of their practice (equipment, competition fees…), thus juggling training, a job, and their family life.

What solutions can enable high-level female athletes to pursue their careers?

La Maison du Sport au Féminin has decided to open a matchmaking platform to allow high-level female athletes to be supported by patrons. The matchmaking platform was designed to enable companies to support a female athlete or a women’s team, and for a female athlete or a women’s team to express a need. A true one-stop shop for sponsoring and patronage of women’s sports, the matchmaking platform organizes, supervises, and supports the partnership and relationship between the company and the athlete.

The Company

It can choose between different types of support:

● Financial patronage
● In-kind patronage
● Professional integration

In the case of financial and skills patronage, the company receives a CERFA form that will allow it to deduct 60% of its donation or the value of its donation from taxes. It also chooses the type of sport it wishes to support (collective, individual, both) and makes an offer proposal. Once the form is sent, La Maison du Sport au Féminin takes care of everything (selecting an athlete in line with the company’s offer, monitoring the proper execution of the partnership, supervising the procedure, issuing the CERFA…).

The Athlete

She describes her sporting activity and ambitions. She then expresses her support wishes, specifying them in relation to her objectives. Once the form is sent, La Maison du Sport au Féminin takes care of everything (selecting or finding a patron company in line with the athlete’s needs, monitoring the proper execution of the partnership, supervising the procedures…). In return for the company’s support, the athlete commits to honoring her obligations as stipulated in the agreement signed.
