    This would be a very FIFA thing to do. There still isn’t a host for '27 so hopefully the next 4 to 8 years before this is awarded there can be impactful changes that benefits the women in Saudi Arabia. I know this take may be part of the problem, but if the leagues and organizations are grabbing all the cash they can, the least they can do is try to make sure some positive comes out of it.

      I only have to think about the news we had here, when we had our first female referee in the bundesliga, and they never showed her in TV and in some cases even didnt show the whole match. its hilarious.

      do they have a womens team now? or was that qatar?

    I feel like women would definitely have to balls to attempt more serious forms of protest. This makes me somehow want this to happen lol.

      No women’s team from the US for sure. They wouldn’t even be able to get mercenaries, everyone would simply turn it down. Can’t imagine we’d be the only one.

        Their form of protest would likely just be refusal to play. Make a competition into proper sunday league quality. That would TRULY embarrass the Saudis

      I mean the backlash when they tried to make Visit Saudi a primary sponsor of the last World Cup was pretty big. From players and fans.

      Within the country, probably not, but in the lead up to the tournament for sure. Boycotts are very likely
