England captain Leah Williamson said on Friday that she had no interest in watching the upcoming men's World Cup in Qatar, adding that the tournament has a huge shadow over it.

The country has come under intense pressure over its treatment of foreign workers and restrictive social laws, leading many participating teams to raise concerns. Qatar has denied claims that workers were exploited. "I'm disappointed and I think it is a shame as growing up, watching the World Cup was one of the things that brought everybody together."

"I think there are times when it will be appropriate to make sure that this doesn't happen again and be a force for change," Williamson said.
