World football's governing body Fifa came under pressure on Monday to reconsider a sponsorship deal with the Saudi Arabian oil firm Aramaco after it received an open letter from 106 female football players from 24 countries including France, Denmark and the United States.
The letter brands the contract worse than an own goal and hits out at Saudi Arabia's record on the rights of women and LGBTQ+ people as well as the impact of Aramco's oil and gas production on climate change.
