In celebration of International Women\u2019s Day, Kukri Sports reaffirms its commitment to empowering and supporting women in sports.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a proud history of supporting female athletes across multiple sports for 25 years, Kukri recognises the vital role women play in driving innovation, leadership and excellence in the sporting world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Women\u2019s Day serves as a poignant reminder of the progress made towards gender equality. Kukri recognises the importance of creating a level playing field for women in sport, with the hope that creating innovative designs will inspire the next generation of female athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In line with its commitment to women in sport, Kukri has undertaken various initiatives to support and empower female athletes, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sponsorship & Partnership:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a leading sportswear supplier, Kukri continues to extend its reach across multiple sports, from England Lacrosse to UBC Women\u2019s Rugby team based in Vancouver, Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kukri is also extending its offer beyond supply elite sportswear, helping to provide support for athletes in their wider development. This is shown through our long-standing partnership with Pegasus Hockey Club, one of the most successful clubs in the history of Irish Hockey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our partnership with the all-Women\u2019s club, over 5,000 kits have been meticulously crafted for peak performance and have inspired countless players, some of which have gone on to triumph at international level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customised Sportswear:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From elite athletes to grassroots, Kukri ensures that women have access to sportswear that enhances their performance and confidence on and off the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every kit has a story<\/a>, from Rugby School\u2019s interconnected jigsaw pieces forming a complete individual wearing the kit, to featuring all affiliated clubs with the Yorkshire Cricket Board that have a women\u2019s and\/or girls\u2019 section on Northern Diamonds\u2019 T20 Vitality Blast shirt design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholarship Fund Contributions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kukri has also invested in scholarship funds for several of its partner universities, helping students to pursue and achieve their performance related goals in their selected sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Worcester University, over 61 students are benefitting from the scholarship, including second year Sport and Exercise Student, Niamh Williams, who has gone on to represent England U20\u2019s rugby team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting Athletes’ Performance:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kukri is also involved in various initiatives with partners to support athletes’ performance, such as providing philanthropic funding for Loughborough University to support their joint study with West Ham United women’s team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This three-year study aims to make a tangible contribution to women’s sport by investigating the performance characteristics of female footballers from youth age to first-team level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re all incredibly proud of the unique sporting ecosystem at Loughborough University that undoubtedly contributes to women\u2019s sport<\/em>“, said Richard Wheater, Director of Sport at Loughborough University.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur partnership with Kurki Sports plays a key role in this vision and we\u2019re thrilled to be working collaboratively as women\u2019s sport continues to flourish.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt Kukri, we firmly believe that every athlete, regardless of gender, deserves equal opportunities to succeed. We are fully committed to not just supplying elite kit across multiple sports, but also offering support through other empowering initiatives that will enable women to thrive and showcase their talents.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Andrew Ronnie, Group CEO at Kukri Sports.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kukri reaffirms its commitment to empowering women in sport and driving positive change within the sporting landscape. By consistently advocating and offering our support, our commitment persists in shaping a future where women enjoy equal opportunities to excel in their chosen sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
