DOHA, Qatar — Seven European teams have scrapped plans to wear rainbow-colored anti-discrimination captains' armbands at the 2022 World Cup after FIFA threatened them with 'sporting sanctions,' the teams said in a joint statement Monday.
It’s unclear whether FIFA’s armbands are optional or required. The “One Love” armbands, however, could have run afoul of FIFA rules that restrict activism. FIFA’s equipment regulations bar any “item” that “FIFA considers … dangerous, offensive or indecent,” or that “includes political, religious, or personal slogans, statements, or images.”
“We have clear regulations on armbands,” Infantino said when asked about them on Saturday. “We have and engage in campaigns on different topics, campaigns which are universal. We need to find topics that everyone can adhere to. This is an important element for us.” "Today LGBT+ football supporters and their allies will feel angry. Today we feel betrayed," the Football Supporters' Association, an umbrella group representing fans in England and Wales,."Today we feel contempt for an organization [FIFA] that has shown its true values by giving the yellow card to players and the red card to tolerance."
