Ireland’s Children’s Minister said it is “disappointing” that European teams will not wear anti-discrimination armbands during the World Cup.
Roderic O’Gorman said that the rainbow-coloured One Love armband was focused on solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.
In a joint statement, seven European nations who had signed up to the One Love campaign confirmed the armbands will no longer be worn due to fear of a yellow card being issued to its players.
