The Football Association of Wales will hold talks with FIFA following reports fans had rainbow-themed items confiscated ahead of their World Cup opener against the United States of America.
The Rainbow Wall, Wales' official LGBTQ+ supporters' group, issued a statement on the night of the Group B encounter stating that female fans who had worn rainbow bucket hats to the match had been told to remove them.
Former Wales international Laura McAllister also took to social media to vent her frustrations at having her Wales rainbow bucket hat confiscated by staff at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, although she later managed to sneak the garment into the venue.
