Unacceptable FIFA deal is final straw - they must stop advertising fossil fuels
At the last COP climate conference in Azerbaijan, athletes from around the world spoke about the impact of the climate crisis on their sports and the need for more climate action. Eroni Leilua is a two time sailing Olympian from Samoa, an island nation that could disappear entirely due to rising sea levels. Pragnya Mohan, India's most decorated triathlete and David Rudisha, two time Olympic champion from Kenya, spoke about the impacts extreme heat and drought have on their performance. Fellow football players Sofie Junge Pedersen and Katie Rood talked about their letter, signed by over 130 female footballers, that urges FIFA to reconsider the sponsor deal between FIFA and oil company Aramco. We agree with them, this sponsor deal is unacceptable in times of a rapidly escalating climate crisis. It is clear that the climate crisis has a massive impact on the sports we love. Athletes – from kids to professionals – need ice to skate on, pitches on which to run and kick a ball around, and conditions that do not put them at risk of death. We simply cannot play if our pitch is flooded, and we cannot perform in extreme heat or polluted air. Climate impacts are impossible to ignore. From floods displacing hundreds of thousands in west Africa and killing hundreds in Spain, to wildfires in and around Los Angeles to drought and extreme heat from southern Africa to India. The impacts of climate change are getting worse and it is clear what we need to do: the world must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2030 and restore nature. As football players, coaches and others working in men's football, we are glad to see that international football association FIFA has signed up to this target under the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework. FIFA president Gianni Infantino has become a regular at UN climate summits. Unfortunately, we do not see FIFA taking the necessary action to deliver a 50 per cent emissions reduction. There are two major issues that need to be addressed. Firstly, FIFA must look at its own emissions. Expanded World Cups and Club World Cups, with more teams and more air travel, are steps in the wrong direction. Many players also speak out on the impact the expanding football calendar has on their physical and mental health, supported by players' union FIFPRO. A smarter, smaller and more regional football calendar can solve two problems at once. FIFA, as well as UEFA and other confederations, need to take their responsibility here. Secondly, from stadiums to football jerseys, football is used to promote products and companies to an audience of billions. This includes fossil fuel companies. We know that to address the climate crisis, we must phase-out fossil fuels. The first step is to stop promoting them. We call upon FIFA, other associations and clubs to stop signing deals with fossil fuel companies. We can learn from the past here: to get people to stop smoking and protect people from the health impacts of tobacco smoke, most of the world stopped advertising tobacco. Many cities are now also banning advertisements for fossil fuel products. We love football and we want future generations to enjoy it as much as we do. For that, the football world needs to step up its game.

Barca ready to 'go all out' for Luis Diaz after Liverpool contract comments
Colombian winger Luis Diaz could be a surprise departure from Liverpool this summer with Spanish giants Barcelona chasing his services having previously held interest in the former Porto star Luis Diaz's Liverpool future is in considerable doubt with Barcelona set to launch a raid for the winger. The Spanish giants have previously held an interest in the Colombian wideman but their dire financial situation has seen a move shelved. But that could all be set to change over the coming months. Diaz's future at Anfield is far from certain given he has just two years left on his current deal. It leaves Liverpool very few opportunities to earn a considerable amount for his services and it appears Barcelona have a plan in place. According to Mundo Deportivo, the Catalan giants are going 'all out' to sign the former Porto star having abandoned a move for Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams. Liverpool are determined to keep Diaz after his standout season last term but Barcelona recognise that stance is completely 'normal' and could change towards the end of the window. The Spaniards believe the Reds might be more inclined to accept later this summer as they attempt to recoup some funds following heavy spending. Liverpool have already spent £35m on Jeremie Frimpong and are expected to break the British transfer record with a move for his former Bayer Leverkusen teammate Florian Wirtz. Meanwhile, Diaz has spoken out on his future and revealed that he has been holding talks with other clubs. Speaking in a Colombia press conference, he said: "We are currently in contact with Liverpool, because we are talking to clubs, and that's normal given the transfer market that's opening. We're trying to arrange what's best for us." He added: 'We're talking to clubs, it's normal in the market and we're looking at what's best for us. I'm waiting to see what happens. I'm very happy at Liverpool, I've always said so. They've welcomed me very well from day one. If they give us a good renewal or I stay there for two years, I'll be happy. Now it's up to them.' Diaz's father has already admitted that it would be a 'dream' for his son to one day represent Barcelona. He said: 'It is true that Luis is a loyal Barcelona supporter and that it would be his dream if he arrived at Barcelona. 'But, until this moment, thank Porto and Liverpool for the welcome with Luis and the way they received him. He is a player who has an easy time earning things because of his way of being, his humility, his work. He gives himself, he is a very disciplined player – thank God. 'If there are chances for Lucho to arrive at Barcelona, he would have no problem. Because it is an elite team and is among the first in the world.'

British number one Katie Boulter edges past Ajla Tomljanovic at Queen's
The 28-year-old, who secured a doubles victory alongside compatriot Emma Raducanu on Monday, was broken in her opening game, but found herself in a position to serve for the set after taking a 5-3 advantage. But Tomljanovic immediately broke back, eventually forcing an opening set tiebreak in which she was edged out by an emphatic winner from Boulter. There's no place like home 🏡@katiecboulter kicks off her grass season with a gritty win over Tomljanovic, 7-6(4), 1-6, 6-4!#HSBCChampionships — wta (@WTA) June 10, 2025 Tomljanovic held the first game of the second set before Boulter, who struggled with her first serves, bounced back from a pair of double faults to make it 1-1. The qualifier then seized control, winning five straight games to force a deciding set, and made it six games in a row when she claimed the first game of the third. Boulter began to swing the contest in her favour, breaking Tomljanovic's serve three times to make it 5-4 and, with the Australian serving to stay in it, digging deep to see herself through after nearly two-and-a-half hours. The WTA 500 event marks the first time in 52 years Queen's has hosted women's tennis. 'When I walked out it actually surpassed what I thought it would feel like when I kind of imagined it,' said Boulter, after sealing the win at the newly-christened Andy Murray Arena. 'That was really nice, and it was great to see that there were loads of people here today watching and supporting, and that actually just means a lot to me as a person and a player, and I know it does to a lot of the girls who are here and fighting and working their butts off.' Boulter has sat in the stands here before watching fiancee Alex de Minaur, who was in attendance, and confessed the vice versa initially felt 'weird.' 'I feel like I had a lot of emotions today,' she added. 'I think it's very easy to get caught up in just trying to get your first grass court match, also coming to such an historic venue as well, which holds a lot of purpose and a lot of familiar feelings when I've come here before. 'I'm mostly grateful to be here and to be playing this tournament, and hopefully I can just be here for a bit longer. ' Earlier, Heather Watson set up a second-round meeting with fourth seed and former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina after upsetting world number 27 Yulia Putintseva, 107 places above her in the rankings, 6-4 6-3. Former British number one Watson won all four of her break points to see off her Kazakh opponent in an hour and 22 minutes.
