Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Newcastle United have unveiled their new green and white third kit for the 2022-23 season.<\/p>\n

Photos of the shirt were leaked online in May, leading to criticism because of its similarities to the Saudi Arabia national team kit.<\/p>\n

Newcastle were taken over in October by a Saudi Arabian-backed consortium.<\/p>\n

At the time of the photo leak, Amnesty International said Newcastle wearing the shirt would be \u201cclear evidence\u201d of sportswashing by the Saudi state.<\/p>\n

The Premier League approved the takeover after receiving \u201clegally binding assurances\u201d that the Saudi state would not control the club.<\/p>\n

In May, Magpies boss Eddie Howe said he was \u201caware of the criticisms\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think from my perspective it\u2019s not something I\u2019ve had any control over,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very aware when we went to Saudi Arabia that the interest in Newcastle is huge.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know I\u2019m making an assumption here but our kit manufacturers have probably acknowledged that, and hence why we\u2019ve ended up where we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia\u2019s Public Investment Fund (PIF) \u2014 of which Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is chairman \u2014 has an 80 per cent stake in the club.<\/p>\n

The Saudi Arabian state has been accused of human rights abuses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it is true that Newcastle United is changing its kit to match Saudi Arabia\u2019s national colours, it exposes the power of the Saudi dollar and the kingdom\u2019s determination to sportswash its brutal, blood-soaked human rights record,\u201d said Amnesty International in May.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite all their assurances of a separation between the Saudi owners and the club, this seems like clear evidence of the regime using Newcastle to portray a positive image.\u201d<\/p>\n
