Scottish Women's Premier League accounts have revealed record payments to clubs.
The second annual accounts for the league showed a 17 per cent increase on last year's fees.
In total, clubs received £389k from the SWPL - £304k through club fee payments and the other £85k from prize money payments.
Fiona McIntyre, managing director for the SWPL, credited sponsorships and partnerships for the "exceptionally strong figures".
Scottish Power are the title sponsor for the SWPL and will remain under contract for the next two seasons following Park's Motor Group's league sponsorship.
Sky Sports, BBC Alba and BBC Scotland have also aided the growth in the league through broadcast agreements alongside increased visability.
PUMA also released a first-ever official match ball for the league this season with a bespoke Orbita ball distributed to clubs.
SWPL managing director McIntyre said: “These are exceptionally strong figures for the second full season of the SWPL and are yet again a testament to the hard work of our clubs to advance women’s football in Scotland.
“These record figures have been supported by key partnerships. The introduction of ScottishPower as title sponsor of the league has played a significant role in supporting the growth of the SWPL, and we are delighted that they will remain principal partners and league title sponsors over the next two seasons. ScottishPower took over from inaugural league sponsors Park’s Motor Group who also remain an important partner and supporter of the SWPL.
"Our broadcast partners Sky Sports, BBC ALBA, and BBC Scotland, have collectively supported the financial growth and driven the increased visibility of the SWPL. This is illustrated via our financial results and also by the recent announcement that over two million people watched the SWPL online or on television last season.
“This was also our first full season in partnership with PUMA which saw their excellent Orbita match balls becoming the official match ball of the SWPL and, for the first time ever, a bespoke SWPL match ball being designed and distributed to our clubs.
“These new and existing partnerships, alongside the appointment of our first ever Partnerships Manager, ensured we have delivered excellent results for the 2023/2024 season and are in a strong position for 2024/2025 and beyond.”
