Alex Morgan attacks ‘bizarre’ potential Saudi Women’s World Cup sponsorship
Alex Morgan has spoken out against potential Saudi sponsorship of the Women’s World Cup and US laws that restrict transgender kids from playing sports
The US football forward Alex Morgan has questioned the possible sponsorship deal between the world's football federation Fifa and Saudi Arabia’s tourism authority for the upcoming Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this summer. Both host countries' federations have also decried the move because of Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, especially when it comes to women and LGBTQ individuals.
