(CNN)Australia and New Zealand's soccer federations say they are "disappointed" about Saudi Arabia's reported sponsorship of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
The two countries will co-host the global showpiece from July 20 until August 20 and claim FIFA did not consult them about this sponsorship.
New Zealand Football issued a statement on Wednesday saying, "New Zealand Football have been made aware of media reports suggesting that Visit Saudi, the official Saudi Arabia tourism authority, are set to be announced as an official sponsor of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, the largest women's sporting event in the world.
"If these reports prove correct, we are shocked and disappointed to hear this as New Zealand Football haven't been consulted by FIFA at all on this matter. As FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 co-hosts, New Zealand Football and Football Australia have jointly written to FIFA to urgently clarify the situation," they added.
Australia issued CNN with a similar statement on Thursday but did not name Saudi Arabia's tourism authority Visit Saudi.
"Football Australia understands FIFA has entered into a destination partnership agreement in respect to the FIFA Women's World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023," the federation said.
"We are very disappointed that Football Australia were not consulted on this matter prior to any decision being made. Football Australia and New Zealand Football have jointly written to FIFA to urgently clarify the situation," they added.
