Football's world governing body, FIFA, has threatened to sanction any captain who wears the OneLove armband during the World Cup.

The multi-coloured armband supports diversity and inclusion - especially for the LGBT+ community.

Same-sex relations are illegal in Qatar where the world cup is being hosted. Captains from seven European countries had planned to wear the armband during the tournament but have now made a u-turn.
