FIFA is facing backlash from Australia and New Zealand's football associations over a possible Saudi sponsorship.

FIFA is rumoured to be confirming Saudi Arabia's tourism authority as a sponsor for the 2023 Women's World Cup.

This has prompted both organisations to write to FIFA to ask for "urgent clarification".

Sportstalk host D'Arcy Waldegrave says it's unlikely that FIFA will change their minds about this sponsorship, as last year's World Cup proved how much they value sponsorships and profit.
