England’s captain is suspended due to wearing the OneLove armband in support of LGBTQ+ rights.
The England national football team faces Iran today in their first match of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. The game starts at 16:30.
One of the controversial events surrounding this match is the decision of Harry Kane, the captain of the England national team, to wear the OneLove armband in support of LGBTQ+ rights. This decision has sparked a lot of controversy in recent days because FIFA has opposed wearing this armband in the World Cup.
Meanwhile, according to English publications, this decision might lead to penalties for the English Football Association and Harry Kane as well. The Daily Mail expressed concern that Harry Kane might receive a yellow card from the referee in the match against Iran for this action and eventually face suspension.
