Football Association of Wales chief Noel Mooney has hit out at FIFA's "cheap" and "low" decision to impose playing sanctions on Gareth Bale and other captains if they chose to wear the 'OneLove' arm bands on the pitch.
Wales, England and five other nations playing at the World Cup had pledged to wear the rainbow-emblazoned arm bands at the tournament as a symbol of solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community, with Qatar treating homosexuality as illegal.
However, before their first games, FIFA threatened to dish out cards to captains who wore the arm bands on the pitch, which prompted the seven nations to release a joint statement to announce they would no longer be wearing them.
