Spanish footballer Esther González is facing strong criticism after traveling to Saudi Arabia to play for Al-Qadsiah and deleting posts where she appeared with her girlfriend, also Spanish footballer María José. The 32-year-old player, who had publicly shared the relationship in recent years, made this decision after moving to the country, which criminalizes homosexuality. The attitude is generating outrage, with many accusing her of deleting her girlfriend to please the Saudi regime and avoid consequences, at a time when international pressure on LGBTQ+ rights in Saudi Arabia is growing.
