Wales will not protest against Fifa’s ban on the One Love armband ahead of tomorrow’s World Cup meeting with Iran, with head coach Rob Page urging his players to focus on the football - and suggesting Germany might “in hindsight have the same message” after their surprise defeat to Japan.
Wales and Germany were, along with England, among seven European nations planning to wear the rainbow-coloured armband during the tournament as a show of support for the LGBTQ+ community in a country where homosexuality remains illegal.
