March 8 is the International Women’s Day. It is not only an occasion to congratulate ladies and give sincere compliments but also an opportunity to remind them of more serious things – for example, the fight for women’s rights, as well as their achievements, including in sports.
It is generally accepted that everything depends only on the abilities of sportsmen and sportswomen. However, female athletes still face many specific challenges – from stereotypes and discrimination to a lack of funding and a low level of infrastructure compared to men’s competitions.
In honor of the holiday, we would like to remember outstanding African sportswomen who have become symbols of perseverance and fortitude.

The issue of gender equality in sports remains relevant, and companies like 1xBet help to change the situation. Here are some examples of how this is happening.
- In Nigeria, the company supports Suo, the first PINJIN female commentator in the country’s history, who is also the chief of the Urubo people. Being responsible for over a million people is a difficult and necessary thing, but what’s more important is that Suo inspires all Nigerian women to take up sports.
- Miracle Chipito from Zambia became the first medalist in the IMMAF World Championship in the history of her country. According to Chipito, 1xBet’s help with tools and logistics allowed her to focus on the competition without being distracted by less important things.
- With the support of the reliable bookmaker, the Waziri Cup tournament was held in Kenya, featuring women’s teams. 1xBet has never considered football a purely male sport and actively invests in developing women’s national competitions, providing squads with jerseys and sports equipment.
Female athletes in Africa have proven that sport has no gender boundaries. Their stories inspire thousands of girls to take up sports, overcome obstacles, and reach the top.
Women in sports are not only about talent and achievements but also about strength of spirit and willingness to go against stereotypes and the opinions of others. The company 1xBet admires them and is proud of the opportunity to help them change the sports world, making it more beautiful and brighter.
