[ad_1]
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s tourist authority is reportedly set to be sponsor of FIFA’s Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this year, local media reported.
Visit Saudi is expected to join global brands such as Adidas, Coca-Cola and Visa under FIFA’s new “commercial partnership structure”.
🚨 Visit Saudi to be unveiled as sponsor of 2023 Women’s World Cup. Brands other than FIFA’s long-term partners (Coca-Cola, adidas etc) offered chance to endorse event & Gulf nation’s tourist board will have its name to 1st 32-team #FIFAWWC @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/0Hz6KEuAhN

The 2023 Women’s World Cup competitions in Australia and New Zealand will start on July 20, and will end on August 20.
The 2023 Women’s World Cup will witness for the first time an increase in the number of teams to 32 teams, and also for the first time that it will be held in two countries, after it was 24 teams in the 2019 edition in France.
Despite the huge strides women’s football has made in recent years, the announcement that Visit Saudi will become the headline sponsor has sparked condemnation.
In recent years, the Kingdom has been criticized for its record on human rights and women’s rights.
In 2022, it was ranked as the second worst human rights violation worldwide by Human Rights Watch due to the execution of 81 men in one day.
This sponsorship will be the latest in a series of major sports investments by Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has begun to enter the women’s football arena with full force since the country implemented its ambitious plan for Saudi Vision 2030, as the country has two degrees of competition, through the Women’s Premier League with the participation of 8 teams, and the First Division League with the participation of 17 teams.
At the beginning of this year— 2023, Saudi Arabia organized the first international women’s football championship, under the name — Women’s International Friendly Championship 2023 in the Saudi city of Khobar, which witnessed the participation of Mauritius, Comoros, Pakistan and the Saudi landowner, who won the title.
In June 2022, the country organized the West Asian Championship for Futsal Women 2022 in Jeddah, which ended with the landowner winning the runner-up, in exchange for the championship title going to the Iraqi national team.
Women were allowed to attend football matches in Saudi Arabia for the first time in 2018, and the country introduced a women-only national football team for the first time in 2022.

Hyderabad Formula E-prix announces Greenko as title sponsor

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Indian renewable energy company Greenko is the title partner of the 2023 Hyderabad Formula E-Prix.
The announcement came from Formula E and Ace Nxt Gen, the promoter of the first ABB FIA Formula E World Championship race in India on Friday.
Greenko would fully power the event with renewable energy, in line with Formula E’s net zero carbon strategy and RE100 commitment to achieve 100 percent renewable energy for the championship.
As the title partner of the first FIA-sanctioned electric world championship motorsport race in India, Greenko’s core values align with the mission of the championship of accelerating towards a clean energy future.
Greenko Group was founded in 2006 and is one of the world’s leading energy transmission and decarbonisation companies.
Fans attending the 2023 Greenko Hyderabad E-Prix would see home favourites Mahindra Racing and Jaguar TCS Racing compete against two iconic motorsports namely NEOM McLaren Formula E and Maserati MSG Racing, who joined the Formula E grid for the first time this season.
A total of 11 teams and 22 drivers would be competing in the all-new GEN3 race car which is a huge leap in technological development and innovation with engineers at the FIA and Formula E pushing the boundaries of EV development.
Capable of a 200mph (322kph) top speed, the GEN3 is 53kg lighter than the GEN2 with a smaller chassis optimised for street racing. An additional front powertrain adds 250kW to the 350kW at the rear, more than doubling the regenerative capacity of the previous GEN2 car to 600kW, with more than 40 percent of the energy used in-race regenerated under braking.

Founder of Greenko Group and Ace Group Anil Chalamalasetty said, “We are delighted to be partnering with an iconic race, India’s first ever Formula E World Championship in association with the Government of Telangana and FIA, with support from the Government of India.”
“I am excited that one of the world’s greenest cities will host the greenest race, under the dynamic leadership of Minister K T Rama Rao. We look forward to witness history in the making, as India drives towards a sustainable future on February 11, 2023 on the streets of Hyderabad,” added Anil.
Co-Founder and chief championship officer, of Formula E, Alberto Longo said, “Greenko will have a global platform to showcase their sustainability credentials as Hyderabad joins iconic world cities in hosting the pinnacle of electric motor racing.”
