In its 6th year, the Iberdrola Supera Awards matched the record number of entries hit in 2024, with 1,300.

Former footballer Andrés Iniesta, scorer of the goal that made the Spanish national team world champion in 2010, and athletes Ana Peleteiro, three-time European triple jump champion, and María Pérez, mixed Olympic gold medallist, double world gold medallist and European champion, are the new members of the jury of honour of the 6th Iberdrola Supera Awards. They join a large group of experts made up of major celebrities from the world of sport and the media such as Sandra Sánchez, Teresa Perales, Carolina Marín, Ona Carbonell, Susanna Griso, Alexia Putellas, Susana Rodríguez, Lydia Valentín, Manu Carreño, Paloma del Río, Jesús Carballo and Vicente del Bosque.

Through these awards, Iberdrola España seeks to highlight projects and initiatives that represent and promote women's sport and promote equality through athletics. As in previous years, the awards are divided into six categories, each worth €50,000:

Supera Base, which rewards initiatives that promote junior sport among girls up to the age of 16.
Supera Competición, which distinguishes those actions that help get women (16 and up) into competition.
Supera Social, which recognises actions that promote the integration of women at risk of social exclusion through sport.
Supera Inclusión, which highlights exemplary projects that work towards the practice of sport by people with disabilities.
Supera Difusión, which honours actions that convey the importance of the role of women in sport and highlight the achievements of our female athletes.
Supera Impulso Rural, which rewards initiatives that promote the practice of sport by girls or women in municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants.

The deadline to present your candidacy opened on 24 April and ended on 27 June. In the coming months, each of the projects submitted will be analysed in detail and the winners will be announced at a gala that the company plans to hold in the fourth quarter of this year.

In its 6th year, the Iberdrola Supera Awards matched the record number of entries hit in 2024, with 1,300. In total, since its first year in 2020, the company has received more than 5,300 projects.

Two decades promoting equality through sport

Iberdrola España believes that sport is one of the essential vehicles for equality and since 2016, it has been the main promoter of sport practiced by women. It currently supports 35 national federations and gives its name to more than 100 competitions. With its commitment, in these nine years, it has contributed to the number of female members of the federations increasing by more than 80%, to almost 820,000.

It is also carrying out complementary initiatives, such as its Iberdrola Ambassadors programme, which brings together 35 leading sportswomen who promote female visibility and leadership in the field of sport, to whom the company seeks to give the widest possible coverage in the media and social networks.

The electricity company’s support also extends to paralympic sport. Since its creation in 2005, it has been working with the Spanish Paralympic Committee's Paralympic Sports Support Plan to provide our athletes with the best conditions to train and participate in all competitions with guaranteed success.

Iberdrola España, through its Foundation in Spain and together with the Spanish Paralympic Committee, provides paralympic athletes who are beneficiaries of the plan with scholarships for university and postgraduate training. This agreement aims to assist in the professional training of athletes so they are better prepared to join the job market in the future once they have completed their athletic careers.

It should be recalled that the company is one of the partners of Women’s Universe, a comprehensive initiative for the development and evolution of women in society that carries out actions that contribute to social transformation through the values of women's sport.
