The Netherlands have announced that they won't be wearing the OneLove armband in solidarity with LGBTQ+ and marginalised groups after FIFA confirmed that Virgil van Dijk and other players would receive punishment for doing so.
The decision comes as England are set to make their own call on the situation after FIFA revealed that the symbol would be greeted with 'sporting sanctions' - a yellow card - as well as a fine.
Van Dijk had originally said he would wear it, but the threat of playing with a booking would force a rethink. In a statement put out on the morning of Netherlands' match against Senegal and England vs Iran, the KNVB said: "The Dutch football association regrets that it was not possible to jointly come to a reasonable solution.
