Former FIFA council member Moya Dodd has slammed FIFA for being ‘tone deaf’ after appointing a supermodel as its inaugural global ambassador of the Women’s World Cup.

Brazilian model Adriana Lima was chosen by FIFA to ‘develop, promote and participate in several global initiatives’ ahead of the tournament in Australia and New Zealand.

Dodd, the former leader of FIFA’s task force for women’s football, believes the Victoria Secret’s model’s new role is a bad thing for the promotion of the game and has questioned where Lima fits into plans to change the perception of females in sport.
