Formula 1 has become one of the biggest global phenomena in sport today. The runaway success of Drive to Survive, booming trading card sales, and the ever-growing popularity of drivers, many of whom have reached true global celebrity status, all underline its appeal.

It was a season of broken records. Women’s football is growing, and one of the clearest signs is the ever-increasing amount of money being invested in the women's game. Chelsea set a new benchmark in 2025, Arsenal topped it that summer, and then both London clubs were surpassed by an NWSL side.

The Netherlands has produced some of the world’s finest footballers — Vivianne Miedema, Kerstin Casparij... and the honorable mention is of course coach legends Sarina Wiegman and Renée Slegers, to name just a few. European champions in 2017, their legacy is undeniable. And their future looks to be in safe hands.

Women’s football kits have undergone a major transformation, reflecting the rapid growth of the game. What was once second-hand and ill-fitting has become more tailored, practical and player-focused.
