Harry Kane praised but FIFA slammed as England LGBT+ fan group raise Qatar safety concerns

England's LGBT+ fan group Three Lions Pride have praised Harry Kane for speaking out about the human rights concerns over Qatar, with the draw for the World Cup less than a week away.

Major concerns have been raised about the safety of LGBT+ fans travelling to the Middle East country for the winter tournament, where homosexuality is illegal. And England captain Kane made it clear earlier this week that Gareth Southgate's squad will seek to raise awareness of those human rights issues.

"As a nation we want our fans to enjoy the tournament as much as we hopefully enjoy the tournament. And we want them to feel safe and free to watch the games how they please and act how they want to act," Kane said.
