A landmark event in Nyon advancing women’s access to sport careers
The City of Nyon will host on Wednesday, 29 October 2025, the first Journée des métiers du football et du sport au féminin. The event will take place in the sports halls of the Collège de Nyon-Marens and marks the culmination of a year of actions linked to the Swiss-hosted Women’s Euro. Its purpose is to dismantle barriers that still limit women’s entry into professions traditionally perceived as masculine, and to showcase the wide range of careers available in football and sport.
Inspiring journeys across the sport world
Throughout the day, a roster of speakers will share their experiences and passions. Attendees will hear from players, editors-in-chief, groundskeepers, communications managers, fitness and conditioning professionals, club leaders, and many others. Their testimonies illustrate how diverse and rewarding careers in sport can be, accessible to all levels of training and education.
Open to everyone
This career day is designed for a broad audience: students, university attendees, adults reorienting their careers, parents, teachers, volunteers, athletes, and companies. By design, it welcomes curious minds from varied backgrounds who want to explore opportunities in football and sport.
