Unilever, meanwhile, acted as a sponsor of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand last year.
This latest tie-up, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF) has said, will involve Rexona and Unilever working alongside the SAFF to “provide opportunities to women and young girls across the Kingdom to participate in the world’s game and advance women’s football in Saudi Arabia.”
Aalia Al-Rasheed, head of the women’s football department at the SAFF, has commented: “We have immense pride of how the women’s game and development of our Saudi Arabia Women’s National Programme has progressed in recent years, and this is the next step in continuing to reach new heights for women’s football and our national team programme in the years to come.”
