The UK teams get their World Cup under way but it's possible the captains could be booked for their activism, with FIFA saying on Saturday that its own armbands are available.
The FIFA messaging is vague - such as #FootballUnitesTheWorld - for the first round of matches. The slogan for the quarterfinals - #NoDiscrimination - comes despite the tournament host nation discriminating against gay people.
FIFA does already permit England's other planned activism, with players deciding to take the knee to highlight racial injustice.England manager Gareth Southgate said:"Of course we understand in the Premier League that the clubs have decided to only do that for certain games, big occasions. "We feel this is the biggest and we think it's a strong statement that will go around the world for young people, in particular, to see that inclusivity is very important."Both England and Wales have an elevated status in the world game, holding two of the eight votes deciding the laws of football.
It allows them to have a say on what is allowed on equipment, but the International Football Association Board is dominated by FIFA's four votes along with Scotland and Northern Ireland having a seat each.On the pitch, Southgate is trying to end a six-match winless run that includes England being relegated in the Nations League.
He is trying to revive the form that took England to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and final of the European Championship last year.
