Fashion is much more than clothing.

It is one of humanity's oldest languages; a record of civilisation, identity, innovation and culture.

Every garment tells a story.

Women's sport has evolved.
Caitlin Clark tripled @WNBA viewership.
The @FIFAWWC hit 2 billion viewers.
The athletes made their case. Now institutions need to catch up.

@fiago7 Having the top three clubs of Portugal in this list is crazy. Their memberships aren't very far off from most of these clubs if not higher, competing with wealthier nations while having less people. Only Argentina makes up the case but again, River and Boca are huge as well.

#Wearables are shifting sports medicine from reactive to preventive.

A @UEFA study across 18 elite clubs: GPS and load monitoring cut soft-tissue injuries 28%, hamstring strains 34%.

@sportsabc_ @UEFA Those numbers are wild. The real shift though is catching problems before they happen instead of treating them after. That's the competitive edge.

@WHOOP's @ScuderiaFerrari partnership is smart positioning beyond football. #F1 audiences skew toward high-income professionals who already care about optimisation and performance. That is exactly the consumer #WHOOP wants wearing the device.

[Sportsdna @sportsdna_ai]

Sports wearables hits $6.4B by 2032.
↳ 4,500+ elite teams using them
↳ 85% of top European clubs
↳ 17% fewer non-contact injuries
↳ 89% ML precision for training load
The hardware race is over. The data layer is where it is won.

@dinisguarda Really interesting perspective on aligning investment with long-term planetary impact. Tech ecosystems need more conversations like this between investors, founders, and policymakers.

“We haven’t yet reached the tipping point. There’s still a lot left to do is just adapting to the harsher 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. Humanity is going in the right direction, but we are 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡.

“The main disconnect is between 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. The investor community is getting 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝 not just with extracting profits from the investment but also whether or not this investment is making good for humanity, for the planet.

@TheAthleticFC This is a great new step to combat racism! Let's see if it results on the pitch 👏

[João Guarda @jguardaofc]

@NYCMayor Great initiative, Mr Mamdami, hopefully this opens the door to other mayors in this World Cup and helps every fan enjoy the beautiful game once again!

[João Guarda @jguardaofc]

@SBJ Massive growth, sports IP becoming a global powerhouse 😄

[João Guarda @jguardaofc]

@dinisguarda Let's see Southern and Eastern Europe's answer to Central Europe's dominance, will future years see a change in the european economic paradigma? 🤔

[João Guarda @jguardaofc]

@FootRankings Maybe we have to rethink this system, it keeps benefiting the Premier League despite English clubs already having a greater financial advantage over EPL Broadcasting rights.

[Sportsdna @sportsdna_ai]

Franchises are building virtual models of players to predict injuries, optimize tactics, and even question who owns player data.

The future of cricket analytics has arrived.

@footballontnt Congratulations to Cape Verde, Congo and South Africa to make it after such a long time - Pride of African Football 🟡🟢🔴🤲🏻

[João Guarda @jguardaofc]

@FootRankings Only three points separate the top three! This show's we are going to experience an amazing world cup!

[João Guarda @jguardaofc]

@MiguelDelaney I don't think it's a lack of spots, rather a lack of competent federations just like Italy last night. You cant expect a place to be left vacant for you just because of legacy, you've got to earn it

[João Guarda @jguardaofc]

@FootRankings Everyone is talking about Italy but I find it so sad Ireland couldn't make it through this time 😢

[João Guarda @jguardaofc]

@Sportico You know you are big when you can make a brand like Jordan 🙌🏻

[João Guarda @jguardaofc]

@AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC @mjshrimper This is great from UEFA, federations should account for a bigger prize pool in these big stake competitions especially when thousands of kilometers separate each match day.
