The chairman of Women in Football Australia, Bonita Mersiades, has called out the “hypocrisy” of such a deal.

Mersiades told The Athletic: “The proposed Visit Saudi sponsorship of the Women’s World Cup is yet another example of FIFA’s and world football’s hypocrisy when it comes to their stated values versus where the money comes from.

“On the one hand, they have a policy which espouses respect for women and LGBTQI rights, amongst others, and on the other hand, they have no compunction in accepting big sponsorship dollars from an organisation representing a nation that neither shares those values nor respects those rights.

“It points to a culture in world football that is no different, and is arguably worse, than it was a decade ago. It will only change if those with alternative, genuine power and influence say ‘enough is enough’, and get together and force change.”

Hoping CL football at United will convince her to re-sign.

Hoping CL football at United will convince her to re-sign.

And I'm hoping she nonetheless comes to Arsenal. That said, she was needed more for this season with Mead and Miedema out with knee injuries than she might when they get back, assuming they get back full strength.

CanWNT stars say labour dispute with Canada Soccer is 'pretty disgusting'

A number of the Canadian women's national soccer team's leaders spoke to the media on Tuesday about their ongoing labour dispute with Canada Soccer.

Threatening legal action was silly. They're not in the military, they can just quit.

I wonder how the Canada team performs at the She Believes Cup. Their hearts may not be all in with all the crap going on behind the scenes.

Canada's women's federation is in shambles. As an aside, US beat them 2-0.

We looked deflated yesterday. I really feel for this team, coming into a WC year and funding is being pulled from under them.

Terrible from Canada Soccer.

 

[kingsboy11]

Canada was either going to come out guns blazing or come out really flat which ended up being the latter. But after the first 10-15 minutes it was pretty even. Both sides had good chances that were saved. US still lacking a killer instinct sometimes.

More French players have followed Renard. Between this and the ongoing battle in Canada, it sours the anticipation for the World Cup imo.

What do they mean by "equal treatment"?

NLD day on the women's side of the game.

NLD day on the women's side of the game.

5-1 drubbing. Arsenal has won all 4 senior NLDs this season

 

[bluesfan94]

Blackstenius!

 

[bluesfan94]

Gorgeous play by Maanum but Foord misses the finish that likely would have sealed the tie.

 

[bluesfan94]

And Arsenal marches on! Will face the winner of Wolfsburg and PSG. Wolfsburg won the first leg in Paris.
