Background
Grupo Iberdrola en España has closed the registration phase for the seventh edition of its Supera Awards, a grant programme that backs projects using sport as a path toward gender equality.
The initiative recognises and funds proposals that support women’s participation and progress in sport across the country.
The programme has grown steadily since it began in 2020, drawing more than 6,100 submitted proposals over the years. The scale of entries has made the awards one of the leading private schemes supporting women’s sport in Spain.
This year, the awards add two new categories, Supera Health and Well-being and Supera Veterans, alongside the six existing ones. Each of the eight categories will receive €50,000, taking the total investment to €400,000, directed toward improving visibility, inclusion and physical development for girls and women in sport.
The move reflects Iberdrola’s broader push toward community development and equal opportunity. Since 2016, the company has worked as a strategic partner with several public bodies and sports federations across Spain, including the Spanish Triathlon Federation and the Royal Spanish Hockey Federation.
Through its partnerships with 35 national sporting institutions, the number of registered female athletes in Spain has grown by more than 80 per cent over the past decade, now nearing 820,000 licensed sportswomen, according to the company.
