Driving gender equality across European bowling
from the lanes to the boardroom
Why This Matters
Bowling competitions may appear equal.
But behind the scenes, the numbers tell a different story. In European sports—and bowling is no exception—the field is far from level.
14%
Women in top
decision-making roles
across European sports
7%
Female federation
presidents in Europe
22%
Women in elite-level
coaching positions
Do you know girls drop out of sports at twice the rate of boys by age 14?
The EBF founded the Gender Equality Committee to help change these statistics within our sport
“Women in Bowling” is the committee’s first project, aiming to increase the number of female athletes and women in leadership positions within bowling.
