David Wright, U.S. Soccer’s Chief Commercial Officer commented:
“At U.S. Soccer we believe soccer is more than a sport, it is a force for good and we are committed to empowering women through our SheBelieves program and our annual Summit. Soccer and sport build future leaders, and this Summit gives women the opportunity to learn from some of the foremost experts and innovators in women’s sports and then see Emma Hayes and the U.S. Women's National Team take on Brazil on April 5th at Sofi Stadium in L.A.”
Emma Hayes, USWNT head coach added:
“I’m very much looking forward to my first SheBelieves Summit. As we continue to view our game through a female lens, it is very important to provide women, who are building careers in and out of the business of sport, with guidance through inspirational conversations. The SheBelieves Summit gives access to incredible conversations that can be transferable across industries, and to hear from an icon like Billie Jean King is a fantastic opportunity. She is the living embodiment of the growth of women’s sports in the USA. I look forward to seeing our attendees at the USWNT versus Brazil game the next day.”
