Welcome to
Sensational League
It all began in 2004 with a simple idea: a women's Sensational Street Football Tournament.
Fast forward two decades, and with three more programs added to our portfolio, our initiatives have become a global movement championing women in football.
From World Cup to Weekly Impact: How 7,800 Players Inspired a League That's Changing the Game
Born from the energy of our Global Goals World Cup tournament and inspired by feedback from over 7,800 players across 17 countries, the Sensational League is a new sports category that redefines playing with passion for the planet.
It tracks the positive actions teams take towards all 17 UN Global Goals (also known as the Sustainable Development Goals).
Our mission is to create a unique sports experience for our players through an innovative play method, empowering game days, connecting them to a global activist network, and creating a unique sports experience that goes beyond the field.
