Riding record audience and attendance growth, WNFC names Integrity 9 its exclusive sales partner to accelerate sponsorships and scale women's tackle football.

DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, October 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Women's National Football Conference (WNFC) today announced that it has selected Integrity 9 Sports & Entertainment as its exclusive sponsorship sales partner and first league-wide sponsorship sales agency of record, marking a significant milestone in the continued commercialization of professional women's tackle football.

The agreement represents a strategic investment in the WNFC's next phase of growth, bringing dedicated national sales representation and established relationships across the sports and entertainment industry to one of the fastest-emerging properties in women's sports.
Integrity 9, led by President Wes Engram, brings extensive experience developing and monetizing commercial partnerships across professional sports, major events, and athlete representation. The agency's portfolio includes work with Live Nation, the Kansas City FIFA World Cup 2026 organizing committee, Rally House, and top level athletes and entertainers.

The partnership positions the WNFC to compete for a larger share of national sports marketing investment as brands increasingly recognize the commercial potential of women's sports.

From Building an Audience to Scaling a Business
The announcement follows a record-setting 2026 season for the WNFC, which continued to establish women's professional tackle football as a compelling national sports property.

Across its 16-club league, the WNFC generated:
227.9 million social media impressions
1.59 billion earned media impressions
1.35 million unique views for its 2026 IX Cup Championship on ESPN2
30,912 fans attending games nationwide (63% increase)
9 national sponsors and partners

The league's growth has been supported by corporate partners including adidas, Dove, Riddell, and others, alongside expanding national television distribution, digital viewership, live events, and Got Her Back youth participation initiatives.

With an established national footprint and a growing audience, the WNFC is focused on converting that momentum into scalable, long-term commercial value.

"We've spent years building demand. Now we're converting demand into growth," said Odessa "OJ" Jenkins, Founder and CEO of the WNFC. "The conversation is no longer about whether women's tackle football deserves investment. It's about the size of the opportunity and who is going to recognize it early enough to help shape its future. Integrity 9 understands how to take a growing sports property to market, and we're excited to put that expertise behind what we're building."

A New Commercial Playbook for Women's Football
As the WNFC's exclusive sponsorship sales agency of record, Integrity 9 will work alongside league leadership to identify, develop, and secure national brand partnerships that support the league's long-term commercial strategy.

The collaboration will focus on expanding sponsorship opportunities across the WNFC's national platform, including the IX Cup (WNFC’s premier championship weekend), broadcast and digital media, league intellectual property, live events, athlete storytelling, and community engagement.
Beyond traditional sponsorship inventory, the partnership creates an opportunity to develop integrated marketing programs connecting brands with the league's athletes, fans, and the next generation of girls entering football.

“Integrity 9 Sports & Entertainment brings extensive experience developing and monetizing commercial partnerships across professional and collegiate sports” said David Hayob, Chief Revenue Officer of Integrity 9. “We work with some of the top properties and brands in the country and are excited to help contribute to WNFC’s upward trajectory in the broader sports ecosystem as one of our signature represented properties.”
