Teams refused support homosexuals in World Cup 2022 in Qatar
European teams, led by England and Wales, announced that they would withdraw from carrying the gay badge in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
7 teams participating in the 2022 World Cup announced their commitment to the rules of the State of Qatar not to wear the “one love” armband in the World Cup competitions.
In a decisive step in this direction, the teams of the Netherlands, England, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Switzerland and Wales, who qualified for the World Cup, in addition to Norway and Sweden, announced that they had launched a campaign in September, through which each captain of these teams would carry a badge bearing the phrase “One Love”.
A number of teams had announced the wearing of the “colors” armband in the 2022 World Cup matches, but the matter was rejected by Qatar, which clung to the rules of the Islamic religion not to enter any party or individual who supports homosexuals on its territory.
Recently the national teams of England, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Wales and Switzerland issued an official statement announcing that they would not wear the “colors” armband in support of homosexuality in their matches in the 2022 World Cup.

In a connected context FIFA has banned England captain Harry Kane from wearing the gay support badge at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Harry Kane decided some time ago to wear the LGBT badge at the World Cup with England.
Harry Kane has already decided not to look at the unacceptable instructions to ban gay support in Qatar, and will wear the One Love badge during England's World Cup matches.
On the other hand, the Spanish Football Federation refused to join and participate in an idea proposed by ten teams to wear the slogan "homosexuality" during the World Cup.

According to the Spanish "cadenaser" website, the Spanish Football Association rejected the proposal of 10 teams, including Germany, France, England and the Netherlands, to wear the "rainbow" logo, which refers to "homosexuality".
The Spanish site highlighted statements made by Luis Rubiales, president of the Spanish Football Federation, at a press conference, in which he said that his players would not wear that badge on their arm during the World Cup.
Instead, Rubiales decided to follow in the footsteps of Portugal and Poland, and adhere to the campaign announced by the International Federation of Football Associations "FIFA" by wearing the slogan "Football Unites the World", as it is a global slogan.
The International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) had warned the seven teams to impose harsh penalties in the event of wearing badges supporting homosexuality at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
