As their husbands were stifling heat in front of sparse crowds, wives were told and turned away from shopping malls for 'exposing their shoulders.'

Saudi Arabia has attracted a slew of world-class players and their families with astronomical salaries, but the life in the region is much more complicated than in the West. Hundreds of lesser-known footballers have also signed to clubs as part of the game's scramble to develop. However, despite the huge salaries on offer to their husbands and the life of unimaginable luxury for them, the reality isn't always rosy for such well-paid players' wives and girlfriends, who can be lonely and vulnerable. A number of Saudi-based WAGs have started to talk to MailOnline about how they are struggling with the Saudi culture, insisting on strict anonymity because they fear the repercussions if such accounts were to be linked to them.
