Abstract: The underrepresentation of women in leadership positions within the sports industry remains a persistent issue, despite the growing participation of women in sports at all levels. This research paper examines the barriers that hinder women’s advancement into leadership roles and evaluates the potential impact of increased gender diversity on organizational effectiveness and performance in sports. Utilizing quantitative data and qualitative case studies from various sports organizations worldwide, the study identifies key obstacles such as gender biases, limited networking opportunities, and structural inequalities. Additionally, the paper discusses the benefits of diverse leadership, which include enhanced decision-making, increased organizational resilience, and broader social and cultural impacts. The findings suggest that sports organizations can significantly benefit from fostering an inclusive environment that actively supports the development and advancement of women into leadership roles. Recommendations for actionable strategies to promote gender diversity within sports leadership are provided, aiming to not only address equality in terms of representation but also to enhance the overall quality and global competitiveness of sports organizations
