Harry Kane must decide whether to support the LGBTQ+ community by wearing the ‘one love’ captain’s armband after FIFA banned him from doing so.
The England forward was determined to wear the armband to support the queer community and protest against Qatar’s despicable treatment of the group, but there are concerns he could be booked as soon as the game kicks off if he wears it.
Wales captain Gareth Bale and Netherlands skipper Virgil van Dijk have also revealed they plan to wear the armband — a heart-shaped, multi-coloured logo.
“We’ve made it clear as a team and a staff and organisation that we want to wear the armband,” Kane said.
“I know the FA (Football Association) are talking to FIFA at the moment and I’m sure by game time tomorrow they will have their decision.
“I think we’ve made it clear that we want to wear it.”
What’s certain is England’s players will perform an anti-racism gesture by taking a knee ahead of their tournament-opening clash with Iran in Group B.
