What's Hot at Zupotsu: Sports Marketing Opportunities for July 2025

July brings a dynamic mix of sporting action across India, offering brands unique opportunities to connect with passionate audiences. From women's cricket making headlines to youth basketball taking center stage and premier golf events approaching, the time is ripe for strategic brand partnerships that resonate with diverse fan bases. 

Here's a look at three key plays—and how Zupotsu can help you turn them into marketing wins. 

1. Women's T20 Cricket: England Series Spotlights Female Stars 

The ongoing Women's T20 series against England has captured national attention, showcasing the rising popularity and commercial potential of women's cricket in India. This high-profile series features several stars including Shreyanka Patil, Kiran Navgire, Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar, and Renuka Singh Thakur, who are rapidly becoming household names with significant influencer potential. 

Zupotsu offers brands unique access to these athletes through customized partnership packages, content collaborations, and event activations that leverage the momentum of this exciting series. 

Why Invest 

• Growing Audience: Women's cricket viewership has surged over 40% in the past year, representing an engaged and diversifying fan base. 

• Storytelling Potential: Female cricketers bring fresh narratives and connection points for brands looking to showcase determination, excellence, and breaking barriers. 

• Value Opportunity: Partnerships with women athletes currently offer exceptional ROI, with more authentic brand integration possibilities. 

Indicative Impact 

• Brand Purpose Alignment: Supporting women's sports demonstrates tangible commitment to equality and inclusion. 

• Multi-Platform Visibility: Series coverage across broadcast, digital, and social media drives comprehensive brand exposure. 

• First-Mover Advantage: Early brand adopters in the women's cricket space establish category leadership and deeper athlete relationships. 

2. Pro Basketball League: India's Only Professional League for the Youth 

The Pro Basketball League Season 4 returns July 6-13 at Pune, establishing itself as the first and only professional basketball league for the youth in India. Featuring U-14 and U-16 divisions for both boys and girls, this groundbreaking tournament is affiliated with the Basketball Federation of India and backed by marquee team owners and prominent brand ambassadors. 

This youth-focused event represents a unique opportunity for brands to connect with next-generation sports enthusiasts and their families in a rapidly growing sport category. 

Why Invest 

• Expanding Reach: With 25,000+ in-stadium spectators and over 1 million online viewers, the league delivers substantial and measurable audience engagement. 

• Digital-First: Live streaming on YouTube (@indianlivesportshub) creates multiple touchpoints for brand integration across the digital ecosystem. 

• Youth Connection: Direct access to Gen Alpha and young Gen Z participants and viewers—demographics increasingly difficult to reach through traditional advertising. 

Indicative Impact 

• Right Environment: Sponsorship packages include youth outreach, official status, venue signage, and social media deliverables. 

• IP Rights: Access to tournament logo, images, and other valuable assets for integrated marketing campaigns. 

• Experiential Opportunities: On-site activation rights, product display and participation in prize ceremonies create memorable brand moments. 

3. Indian Championship Golf: European Tour's Second Stop in India 

The DP World India Championship at the Delhi Golf Club this October represents a significant milestone as the second European tour event in India this year following the Indian Open. This prestigious tournament continues to draw attention from golf enthusiasts and sponsors alike, creating a premium platform for brands targeting an affluent and engaged audience. 

Zupotsu provides brands the opportunity to become part of this exclusive golfing experience through tailored sponsorship packages and branded content strategies that authentically connect with the golf community. 

Why Invest 

• Premium Audience: Unparalleled access to high-net-worth individuals and corporate decision-makers who comprise the core golf audience.
