"You can't do things against God's will. I’ll quit football," Becali told Romanian television channel Pro X. “How can a woman play football? She isn't built for playing football. Her body isn't made for football. It's dangerous. The female was created to be beautiful, to attract the opposite sex. “We are affecting women by letting them play football or by allowing them to box. They should play handball, volleyball, basketball, but not aggressive sports."Becali's comments come on the back of Ada Hegerberg's Ballon d'Or win where she was asked by French DJ Martin Solveig if she could twerk? Solveig was heavily scrutinised for his sexist comments and Hegerberg insisted that he would not let his comments ruin a historic moment for women's football.
"When I got up onstage to accept my award, everything was calm. Everything was warm. Everything was perfect,” Hegerberg wrote in a column for The Players’ Tribune.. “I looked out into the crowd and saw so many amazing footballers. The women’s game and the men’s game were side-by-side. “What an incredible, beautiful moment. I will not let it be ruined by a stupid joke from a presenter. It didn’t ruin it in the moment. It does not ruin it in my memory.”
