Not a fan nor player and I wish to see the whole thing abolished.
Why would I want to watch the men's football world cup, our womens team are better anyway.
Oh no! You don’t say a morally bankrupt enterprise is owned by murderous dictator oil sheikhs?! I’m shocked
I can totally understand that hung alpha males enjoy watching twinks play with their balls
Dutch athlete Tessel Middag is one of more than 130 professional women's soccer players who signed an open letter in 2024 criticizing FIFA's decision to partner with Saudi Aramco.
Activism, she says, comes naturally to women's soccer players, who have always had to fight for their place in the sport.
FIFA's four-year partnership with Aramco includes the 2027 Women's World Cup.
"We feel like the good work that we and our predecessors, the women that came before us have done, would be dishonoured by partnerships such as the one that was announced with Saudi Aramco," Middag said.
