Women footballers urge Fifa to end Saudi oil deal

A group of women footballers from around the world has come together to urge FIFA to end its sponsorship deal with Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil company, Saudi Aramco.

The players are calling on FIFA to take a stand against the human rights violations and environmental damage caused by the oil industry, particularly in Saudi Arabia.

They argue that the partnership between FIFA and Saudi Aramco goes against the values of equality and sustainability that the organization claims to uphold.

The women footballers are using their platform to raise awareness about the impact of the oil industry on communities and the planet, and are calling on FIFA to prioritize ethical partnerships over financial gain.

Several high-profile women footballers, including Megan Rapinoe and Sam Kerr, have publicly voiced their support for the campaign.

The players are also calling on fans and supporters to join them in putting pressure on FIFA to end its partnership with Saudi Aramco.

FIFA has yet to respond to the campaign, but the women footballers are determined to continue their efforts until their voices are heard.

This campaign highlights the growing influence of women in football, and their willingness to use their platform for social and environmental causes.

It also underscores the power of athletes to advocate for change and hold organizations accountable for their actions.

As the campaign gains momentum, it remains to be seen whether FIFA will heed the calls of these women footballers and end its controversial partnership with Saudi Aramco.
