FIFA's appointment of supermodel Adriana Lima as its global fan ambassador in a Women's World Cup year is ‘baffling’ and sends the wrong message to players and fans, former FIFA Council member Moya Dodd said
Dodd, a member of the FIFA Council from 2013 to 2016, also referred to comments Lima made in a 2006 interview with the magazine GQ in which she said abortion was "a crime".Lima's publicist, Laurent Boye, said the model's stance had changed in the 17 years since she made those comments.
Dodd, a prominent women's soccer advocate, represented Australia 24 times from 1986-95 and played in FIFA's women's invitational tournament in 1988, three years before the inaugural Women's World Cup.
