Description

"England, Wales and five other European nations have backed down from wearing the OneLove armband that was intended as a protest at all forms of discrimination at the World Cup in Qatar. The decision came after they were warned by Fifa they would face sporting sanctions, and that their captains could be booked or even forced to leave the pitch. In a statement the seven federations, also including Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, expressed dismay at Fifa’s behaviour. “Fifa has been very clear that it will impose sporting sanctions if our captains wear the armbands on the field of play,” they said. “As national federations, we can’t put our players in a position where they could face sporting sanctions including bookings, so we have asked the captains not to attempt to wear the armbands in Fifa World Cup games." 11/21/22 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/nov/21/bullingham-admits-england-may-step-back-from-onelove-armband
