The Aramco sponsorship deal contradicts FIFA's commitments to human rights and the planet. It's unacceptable for women's soccer to be associated with a regime that restricts women's rights and criminalizes LGBTQ+ relationships. FIFA must prioritize ethical partnerships that align with the values of gender equality and environmental sustainability.
FIFA's partnership with Aramco brings significant financial benefits to the sport, including increased investment in women's soccer. The organization is inclusive and works with many commercial partners across various industries. Saudi Arabia is making progress in modernizing its society, and engagement through sports can help promote positive change.
