Man City beat Aston Villa to go top of WSL
Manchester City move top of the Women’s Super League as they beat Aston Villa in their third comeback win in the space of a week.
The players uniting against the sponsorship have more than 2,300 international caps between them and include England defender Niamh Charles, as well as the captains of Canada and Italy’s national teams.
They have been supported in their campaign by the organisation Athletes of the World, external, which brings together sportspeople to advocate on issues such as climate change and poverty.
Danish international Sofie Junge Pedersen was one of the architects of the letter, external which describes the sponsorship as “worse than an own goal” adding that women’s football “deserves better” from its governing body.
“We would like Fifa to replace Saudi Aramco with other sponsors whose values align more with with gender equality, human rights and a safe planet for everyone,” Pedersen added.
“Then we also suggest that they create a committee with player representation who can be part of deciding which sponsors should be chosen [in the future].”
Both Pedersen and Miedema agree that different sponsors should be sought even if it means the deals are less lucrative for women’s football.
Miedema says that if Aramco remains as a sponsor for the 2027 Women’s World Cup it could lead to further action from players.
“I think you’ve seen over the past couple of years that women’s teams are not scared to stand up for what they believe in.
“You’ve seen boycotts from numerous teams, obviously recently, like with the America team, with the Canadian team, everyone is very open and willing to share their opinions.
“That shows you that going forward, there will be a lot of attention and there will definitely be things happening around the World Cup.”
Carlos Alcaraz said in September the tennis schedule will “kill us in some way” – but can anything be done in a calendar packed with big-money tournaments?

Mason Greenwood ends goalscoring drought in style as ex-Man Utd star fires timely reminder to new England boss Tuchel
MASON GREENWOOD ended his goalscoring drought in a timely reminder to new England boss Thomas Tuchel.
The forward made a fast start to life in Ligue 1 after joining Marseille, scoring five goals in his first three games.

But Greenwood then went on a barren run of four games without a goal.
However it appears the international break did him good as he returned to form with a goal and an assist in Marseille’s 5-0 demolition of Montpellier.
Greenwood showed devastating pace and trickery to beat his man before firing low past the goalkeeper on his weaker foot to score Marseille’s fourth.
The former Manchester United star has proved himself to be a key player already for Roberto De Zerbi‘s side.
And Greenwood wants to know if his form could lead to an England recall following the appointment of Tuchel, SunSport revealed.
If not, Greenwood will accept Steve McClaren’s invitation to switch allegiance and play for Jamaica.
Greenwood’s international future has been in limbo since he spent 18 months out of the game after being charged with attempted rape, assault and coercive behaviour in January 2022. The charges were later dropped.
A source told SunSport: “Mason knows his chances of playing for England again are very slim. But he wants to check with the FA and Tuchel now he has been appointed, to see what they think.

“He is determined to play at the highest level and that means the World Cup.
“So if England don’t want him, he’ll switch to Jamaica and try and get to the 2026 World Cup that way.”
