The man behind the rainbow versions of Wales football fans' famous bucket hats has vowed to make more despite the headwear being confiscated by World Cup officials ahead of the World Cup opener against the United States.
The Rainbow Wall, Wales' official LGBTQ+ supporters' group, issued a statement on the night of the Group B encounter stating that female fans who had worn rainbow bucket hats to the match had been told to remove them. Former Wales international and Wales Online columnist Laura McAllister was among those who had her hat confiscated by staff at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, but later managed to sneak it into the venue.
Following the experiences of many fans, the FAW has confirmed it will collate information and hold talks with FIFA presenting their findings., with the association saying they were "extremely disappointed" by reports of hats being confiscated at the game.
