Harry Kane will lead the England team out wearing an anti-discrimination armband during the upcoming winter World Cup in Qatar. The English FA has joined forces with nine other European federations in supporting the season-long OneLove campaign against discrimination.
The Tottenham striker will wear the armband for the first time this Friday when the Three Lions take on Italy in the Nations League. Kane will be among eight captains of countries who qualified for the 2022 World Cup to wear the OneLove armband - with the other countries being Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Switzerland, Wales and the Netherlands, with the latter creating the initiative.
Same-sex relationships and the promotion of same-sex relationships are criminsalised in the Middle Eastern country. The armband includes a heart containing colours representing all backgrounds, as it aims to increase inclusivity of LGBTQ+ supporters
