FIFA have reportedly reminded Qatar they must allow rainbow symbols to be worn at the World Cup after security officials stepped in to remove them from fans.
The rainbow has become associated with the LGBT+ community, who are persecuted in Qatar. Mirror Football has previously revealed how security forces in the Middle Eastern Emirate hunt down, arrest and beat LGBT+ people, with same-sex relationships outlawed and even punishable by death.
Some supporters have still been showing their support for the LGBT+ community by wearing rainbow clothing while attending the World Cup, despite those draconian laws. But Qatar has attempted to prevent that by confiscating the items and detaining people wearing them.
