Bristol City captain Vicky Losada champions âThe Sportswomanâ pub takeover in Bristol
Bristol City captain Vicky Losada has shown her support for a Bristol pub which was revamped to celebrate the growth of the womenâs game.
The pub, originally named âThe Sportsmanâ, was founded in 1892, and has a longstanding history with sports in the region. However, to celebrate the growing visibility of the womenâs game, the pub decided to rebrand itself for a day.
Coinciding with Bristol Cityâs final home Womenâs Super League 2 match of the season, the pub changed itâs name to âThe Sportswomanâ.
The rebrand comes following Gunniessâ partnership with Bristol City, where they are supporting local pubs, particularly female-owned ones.
Losada, who joined the club in 2024, admits the city now feels like home to her.
She said: âI think since day one, you could tell it was a family club â a bit different to all the places Iâve been before. Theyâve also shown me how massive and important the community is for the club. Being part of the foundation also and just sharing things with people from Bristol.â
Increasing the visibility of womenâs football
The former Barcelona captain regularly attends âThe Sportsmanâ and believes venues like this are becoming more inclusive for fans of womenâs sport.
âItâs a process and I still think thereâs things to improve,â Losada admitted. âBut I was there the other day at The Sportswoman and itâs small steps but they make a massive difference.â
Guinness has strived to increase the visibility of womenâs sports in recent years. The brand notably became the first in three decades to sponsor kit through their work with Bristol City. Alongside this, they work closely with fan engagement and aim to enhance fan experiences through promotions and exclusive rewards.
