FIFA has banned Belgium from wearing their vibrant warm-up shirt at the World Cup in Qatar.

, which is on the inside of the collar and is not visible to supporters.

However, FIFA has also taken umbrage over Belgium’s warm-up shirt which the players had been due to wear on the pitch during their pre-match preparations. Belgium have not received a reason from FIFA for the ban on their warm-up top, and given that it has no messages or symbols on it, it can only be assumed that the colourfulness of the jersey is causing an issue.‘All countries are perplexed,’ said Peter Bossaert, head of Belgium’s Football Association.

wow. the away shirt is removed because of the word ''love', but apparently it has nothing to do with lgbtq+. Now the training kit is too colorful. This is pathetic and hilarious at the same time.

rawlimark This is becoming the biggest joke.
