England, Belgium, others reverse decision to wear OneLove armband in Qatar

England, alongside 6 other nations, has declared they would not be wearing the OneLove armband, just hours before the Three Lions’ World Cup opener against Iran.

FIFA had threatened to book any captain wearing the controversial rainbow armband in World Cup matches, although England had been adamant about wearing it.

According to Sky Sports, a statement released by the football associations of England, Wales, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands and Switzerland confirmed they would no longer wear the armband at the World Cup.

England captain Harry Kane had been adamant that he would wear the armband as a message of anti-discrimination and support for the LGBTQ+ community, but that will no longer be the case.

The football associations reckoned they can’t put their players in a position where they could face sporting sanctions including bookings, and have to respect FIFA guidelines.
