England captain and Arsenal star Leah Williamson says she 'cannot support' this year's FIFA World Cup in Qatar and it's a shame it's been overshadowed by issues off the field.
The Middle East nation was announced as the hosts of the 2022 competition back in 2010, but it's been an unpopular decision given their human rights record and treatment of LGBTQ+ people. There was more controversy ahead of England's opening game against Iran earlier this week after it was confirmed Harry Kane would not be wearing the OneLove armband in support of the LGBTQ+ community.
The decision was made in light of FIFA's stance that any captain wearing the armband would face sanctions, such as bookings. Williamson, who captained the Lionesses to glory in the UEFA Women's Euro back in the summer, says football should be an inclusive sport.
