Thu Sep 19 11:08:01 UTC 2024: ## WSL Kicks Off Season with Inspiring Fashion Shoot and New Research
As the Women’s Super League (WSL) enters its 14th season this weekend, Sky Sports is highlighting the inspiring impact of female athletes with a new fashion shoot featuring players from each WSL club.
**Sky Sports’ research reveals 88% of respondents believe watching female athletes on TV inspires young women to participate in sports.** This follows the surge in girls playing soccer after England’s historic victory at the UEFA Women’s Euro in 2022.
The WSL Editions photoshoot sees players styled in outfits representing their personalities, showcasing the intersection of fashion and football. This initiative aims to present the athletes as diverse role models for the next generation.
**The shoot features leading Lionesses like Leah Williamson, Alex Greenwood, and Lauren James.** It’s a significant step towards addressing the lack of diversity historically prevalent in the women’s game.
**Alex Greenwood, Manchester City captain, emphasized the league’s unity.** “We’re on different teams, but we’re in it together to keep inspiring fans and pushing the women’s game forward.”
**Sky Sports’ Head of Women’s Sport, Jo Osborne, emphasized their commitment to showcasing exceptional talent.** “Bringing all the WSL clubs together for this shoot is the perfect way to kick off the season and build excitement for seeing these incredible players back on our screens.”
The WSL season kicks off this weekend with Arsenal vs. Manchester City, airing exclusively on Sky Sports and NOW.
