With record-breaking growth in women’s sport across disciplines like football, rugby, cricket, basketball, and more, the importance of women’s sports travel has never been greater. As teams prepare for events like the UEFA Women’s EURO, Women’s Rugby World Cup and other major tournaments, tailored travel management can make all the difference to performance and wellbeing.

Putting Athlete Safety and Comfort First

For many women’s teams, ensuring a safe and comfortable travel experience is essential. This includes:

  • Choosing accommodation with robust security measures and a proven track record of hosting professional teams.
  • Reliable ground transportation, especially for late-night transfers after training or matches.
  • Clear travel protocols to support the welfare and privacy of players and staff.

Creating a secure environment helps athletes focus on their game without unnecessary stress.

Flexible Itineraries for High-Performance Schedules

Women’s elite competitions often involve intense calendars and rapid turnarounds, requiring:

  • Direct flights and optimised connections to reduce fatigue.
  • Flexible travel arrangements that accommodate training, recovery, and media commitments.
  • Support for dietary, medical, and equipment needs throughout the journey.

Tailored itineraries enable athletes to perform at their best, wherever competition takes them.

Championing Equality Through Travel Standards

Providing women’s teams with the same high-quality travel standards as men’s teams demonstrates a genuine commitment to equality. More organisations now ensure comparable services for their women’s and men’s squads, setting a positive example ahead of major competitions like the UEFA Women’s EURO.

Integrating Sustainability into Women’s Sports Travel

With many women’s leagues and tournaments involving extensive travel, reducing the environmental impact is a growing priority. Teams are increasingly exploring solutions such as rail and coach travel for shorter distances, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and carbon offset initiatives to lower emissions.
