“Seeing a media giant such as Diario AS align with SIGA as Media Partner of the Annual Summit on Female Leadership in Sport is a testament to the work both SIGA and Diario AS are doing on a daily basis. From our first conversations back in 2021, it was evident that Diario AS was fully committed to helping sport achieve the highest levels of Good Governance and Integrity. Under the leadership of Vicente Jimenez and his team, Diario AS is a pioneer in the media landscape. I am sure many will follow, and start taking Integrity as an indispensable pillar of the sporting Industry.”
