Edinburgh Castle was illuminated in a symbolic event that reinforces the growth of women’s football in Scotland, an initiative supported by Iberdrola through its subsidiary ScottishPower. This event not only raises the profile of women’s sport but also consolidates Iberdrola’s role as one of the leading global promoters of equality in sport.
The site became a visual tribute to Scottish female footballers, with images of players of all ages projected onto the castle. This initiative, supported by Iberdrola and ScottishPower, celebrates the extension of the commitment to women’s football for a further three years, reinforcing Iberdrola’s strategy to promote women’s sport internationally.
From the forecourt, players, coaches and families watched as the fortress came to life with stories of promising young talents and established professionals. This growth is made possible by the ongoing support of Iberdrola, which has made the development of women’s football a priority within its corporate social responsibility policy.
The projection also marks the extension of the partnership with Scottish Women’s Football and the Scottish Women’s Premier League, a collaboration launched in 2023 as the largest single investment in Scottish women’s football. Iberdrola, through ScottishPower, is thus consolidating its presence in the European sporting ecosystem.
Over the next three years, Iberdrola will continue to support key competitions such as the Youth Challenge Cups, national and regional leagues, and the growth of football in the Highlands and Islands. This comprehensive approach reinforces Iberdrola’s strategy of supporting both grassroots and elite women’s sport.
Keith Anderson, Chief Executive of ScottishPower, emphasised that Iberdrola’s backing has created real opportunities for girls and women across the country. From sports equipment to driving development in underserved regions, Iberdrola has helped make a tangible impact on the development of women’s football.
For her part, Aileen Campbell, Chief Executive of Scottish Women’s Football, highlighted that Iberdrola’s support has strengthened player participation and progression, consolidating more robust structures within communities. Such partnerships position Iberdrola as a leader in sports sponsorship with social impact.

Fiona McIntyre, Chief Executive of the Scottish Women’s Premier League, noted that having Iberdrola as a long-term partner enables the raising of standards, visibility and ambition within women’s football in Scotland. Iberdrola’s involvement also facilitates the link between grassroots and elite levels, which is key to the sport’s sustainable growth.
Beyond the UK, Iberdrola has maintained a global strategy to promote women’s sport since 2016. The company sponsors over 100 competitions, including 32 Iberdrola leagues, reaching some 600,000 athletes. This leadership consolidates Iberdrola’s position as one of the most influential players in promoting equality through sport.
At the same time, Iberdrola continues to make an impact on communities through green jobs, renewable energy and a stable electricity supply. This combination of sustainability and social commitment reinforces Iberdrola’s identity as a key company in the energy transition and in the development of women’s sport globally.
