Countries with teams planning to wear a ‘One Love’ armband at the World Cup have told their captains not to attempt to do so for fear of sporting sanctions, a joint statement has said.
England and Wales will not wear an anti-discrimination armband in their World Cup matches on Monday after FIFA threatened them with sporting sanctions.
A joint statement from seven European nations who had signed up to the ‘One Love’ campaign – which included England and Wales – confirmed they had asked for the armbands to no longer be worn.
