The controversial owner, who has been convicted of kidnap, as well as corruption during his time in the Romanian parliament, told Pro X program Ora exacta in sport such a request would defy his spiritual beliefs.

"I'll quit football! You can't do things against God's will," Becali said.

"(It's more so) aligning to Satan's ideas. How can a woman play football?

"She isn't built for playing football. Her body isn't made for football. It's dangerous ... it's against human nature!

"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 latest remarks follow a long list of racist, sexist and homophobic slurs since his surge to prominence in Romania.

The 60-year-old took over Steaua in 2003 and has since been labelled "the most offensive owner in world sports" by the Washington Post.
