The series forms part of SuperSport's global-leading #HereForHer campaign aimed at promoting and celebrating women's sport as well as women in sport.
The #HereForHer campaign kicked off during the 2023 Netball World Cup that was hosted in South Africa when SuperSport became the first-ever broadcaster in the world to deploy an all-female (120-member) production crew to broadcast an international tournament.
