Mario Ruíz-Tagle, CEO of Iberdrola España, presented Mariona Caldentey, FC Barcelona player, with the MVP (Most Valuable Player) award last night at La Romareda for her outstanding performance during the match between FC Barcelona and Real Sociedad, in which the former won by 8 goals to 0.

After the match, played in a sustainable stadium thanks to the company's green energy, Ruíz-Tagle congratulated the player and expressed Iberdrola's absolute commitment "to promote the role of women in sport, as a vindication of equality, but also of excellence, and thus contribute to creating references so that girls and young women know that they can be whatever they set their minds to".

Likewise, after participating along with four other people in a challenge organised by Iberdrola during half-time, a fan received from Sonsoles Rubio Reinoso, the company's Internal Audit and Risk Director, a prize consisting of a trip to Tenerife for two people - flight, hotel and tickets included - to enjoy the match between the Spanish national team and Denmark on 4 June, a qualifier for the European Championship.

In 2016, Iberdrola became the first company to make a firm and global commitment to equality and the empowerment of women through sport, with the conviction that through sport it is possible to raise awareness and work on the need to promote a society with equal opportunities.

The company continues its commitment to women's football by promoting women's football competitions, such as the Copa de la Reina and the Supercopa de España, as well as the Primera Federación Iberdrola. Iberdrola is also the main sponsor partner of the Women's National 11-a-side football, futsal and beach football teams.

In addition, it currently supports 35 national sports federations, a support that benefits 800,000 women athletes. It also gives its name to 35 leagues, all of them of the highest category, and to more than 100 competitions with their own name.

With this commitment, Iberdrola contributes to boosting the success of women's sport, promotes equal opportunities and encourages healthy habits in society from an early age. So far, Iberdrola's role as the main promoter of women's sport in Spain has resulted in a 40% increase in the number of women's licences in the Federations it supports.

Their actions are contributing to an increase in the level of competition and are allowing many Spanish elite sportswomen, who have developed their sporting careers in other countries, to return to competitions in Spain, or Spanish sportswomen to compete in prestigious international leagues.
