The captains of seven European nations had vowed to wear armbands carrying the heart-shaped multi-colored logo of the “One Love” campaign, which promotes inclusion and diversity in soccer and society. That set up the prospect of viewers worldwide seeing a symbol of disapproval with the host country and defiance of FIFA on the arms of England’s Harry Kane, the Netherlands’ Virgil van Dijk and Wales’ Gareth Bale on Monday.
The captains of Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Denmark had also pledged to wear the armbands in the coming days. The European plans were in clear breach of World Cup regulations and FIFA’s general rules on team equipment at its games, but Danish soccer federation head Jakob Jensen told Danish broadcaster TV2 that the organization was ”extremely disappointed with FIFA.”
