adidas Breaking Barriers and Sportiw are back for their yearly contest to help girls boost their sports careers! After a successful first year, we will once again be helping European athletes better connect to career resources via adidas and the Sportiw platform.
The objective of this collaboration is to reduce inequalities in sports and enhance the ability of women in sports to make a living from their passion or develop their career.
A Successful First Edition
During the first edition of the contest, adidas Breaking Barriers and Sportiw helped more than 60 European athletes boost their sports careers. Thanks to personalized support from our teams, athletes were able to gain greater visibility with recruiters, while also putting themselves forward more easily.

In 2023, adidas Breaking Barriers and Sportiw are thinking even bigger. Thanks to the enthusiasm generated among women in sports after the first edition, we couldn’t stop there.
