Short text 312 CharactersPlain text

On International Women's Day, the players of the win2day ICE Hockey League are highlighting an important message: Women in sports deserve the same recognition as their male counterparts. They train hard, compete with passion, and celebrate emotional victories—yet they do not receive the same level of attention.

With their joint statement, the players emphasize that sports are for everyone and that success is not determined by gender but by talent, hard work, and dedication. They advocate for equality both on and off the ice, ensuring that women receive the same stage as men and that no one is disadvantaged because of their gender.

win2day as a Pioneer for Equal Opportunities in Sports
Equality in sports is also a key focus for win2day, the title sponsor of the win2day ICE Hockey League. As a pioneer in increasing the visibility of women in sports, win2day launched the "Equal Play Day"—the day on which women's sports statistically become invisible in the media. With this initiative, win2day is sending a strong signal for more media presence and equal opportunities.
