Nita Ambani among top-10 influential women in sport in 2020

Mumbai: In what is a landmark moment for the country, Nita Ambani, founder, and chairperson of Reliance Foundation, has been named among the top-10 iSportconnect’s Influential Women In Sport 2020.

A pioneer in driving sports to new heights in India, Ambani has not only masterminded Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Mumbai Indians to becoming the most successful team in the cash-rich league’s history, she has set her eyes on India hosting the Olympics and the FIFA World Cup in the future.

The premise of hosting an Olympics on home soil was set when the formal bid submission to host the 2023 IOC session was completed by Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President Narinder Batra and IOC member Ambani to IOC chief Thomas Bach on the sidelines of the governing body’s 134th session in Lausanne, Switzerland in June last year.
