What Impact Will Sponsors Have on FIFA?



As Aramco, Saudi Arabia’s state-owned oil giant, continues to expand its sports portfolio, they are constantly on the lookout for new sports entities to sponsor. Some of Aramco’s current sponsors include Formula 1, the Indian Premier League, the International Cricket Council, and even the T20 World Cup just to name a few. However, Aramco's most recent endeavor lies within the Americas more so to speak the Americas FIFA-governed body.
Concacaf the governing football body for North and Central America as well as the Caribbean, signed a multiyear deal making Aramco the official “energy” sponsor for all of the national teams under Concacaf. The deal is set to begin today with the start of the Concacaf W Gold Cup. Aramco is set to become one of FIFA’s top sponsors through 2034. What could be some potential drawbacks or concerns when it comes to Aramco's sponsorship within FIFA? Would this have any impact on the game itself?
