The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Fifa ban threat for Harry Kane and England over ‘OneLove’ armband | Qatar 2022” – below is their description.
The Football Association has been told by Fifa its regulations do not allow for Harry Kane to wear the “OneLove” armband designed to express solidarity with marginalised people, including the criminalised gay community, at the Qatar World Cup finals.
The latest conversation, part of a standard meeting between team officials and the Fifa match commissioner on Sunday, has left the FA deeply frustrated with Fifa on the eve of the first game against Iran.
There is concern among some European nations who have pledged to wear the armband in Qatar that the team captain could be subject to a booking as soon as the game kicks off, although that has not yet been conveyed to the players.
Fifa has said in private that it has to approve any change to the equipment worn by the players on the pitch.
The governing body has so far failed to respond to the FA’s requests to get approval for the “OneLove” armband which Kane wore in the two most recent Nations League games in September.
Fifa has also failed to offer any clarity on the issue to the media.
