Nice to meet you, I am !

I believe in a world where the majority of women athletes can live from their passion.

Where can I have the most fun and make the biggest impact?

My intuition drove me to women’s football, a fast-growing sport with a huge potential. From failing to pass a recruitment process for LaLiga in its final stage I became part of the UEFA marketing team at Women’s Euro 2017. At the Euro, I met first-hand the closeness and self-improvement spirit of women’s football.

Currently, I lead the communications area of Naru Sports, a young and experienced company in the women’s football field. Besides creating content for my blog, I help in the organisation of Fútbol Para la Igualdad congress and develop digital marketing and consultancy projects for sports entities.

To date, I have written a 130 posts, given 15 speakings and published 3 ebooks.

Shall we know better each other? I invite you to keep reading! Xavi Bové Women’s Football Marketing

Empathic, creative and hard-working.

My is to improve women’s football with marketing.

My magic, showing up everyday and nonstop learning.
