Soccer teams representing seven European nations at the World Cup announced Monday that their captains won’t wear LGBTQ armbands in Qatar after FIFA, which organizes the tournament, said players sporting the bands would be sanctioned.The captains of England, Wales, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, had intended to wear the OneLove rainbow armbands to promote diversity and inclusion at the World Cup.
The Dutch were the first to announce publicly that captain Virgil van Dijk would not wear the armband. “Hours before the first game, it has been made clear to us from FIFA that the captain will receive a yellow card if he wears the ‘OneLove’ captain’s armband,” the KNVB, the country’s football association, said in a statement. “We deeply regret that it was not possible to reach a reasonable solution together.“We stand for the ‘OneLove’ message and will continue to spread it, but our No.
“As captains we may all be competing against each other on the pitch, but we stand together against all forms of discrimination,”
