The FA lit up Wembley’s famous arch in rainbow colours ahead of England’s World Cup game against the United States men’s national team.
Lit up in support of LGBTQ+ communitiesComes after threats from FIFA regarding ‘OneLove’ armbandRainbow bucket hat and flags returned to stadiums today
WHAT HAPPENED? Qatar’s stance on LGBTQ+ people and communities has been a major talking point during the World Cup, especially after FIFA threatened on-pitch actions should captains have wore the ‘OneLove’ armband in the opening round of fixtures. As a show of support, the FA have lit the Wembley arch up in rainbow colours before England’s game against the USMNT.

WHAT THEY SAID: Mark Bullingham, CEO of the FA, said this regarding potential consequences: “They would take disciplinary action against any player wearing the armband on top of having a yellow card.”
IN A PICTURE:
WHAT NEXT FOR ENGLAND? The Three Lions have indicated they will continue to make statements for people off the pitch while battling on it, too, although they have been limited by FIFA regulations. They know a win against the USMNT will see them through to the knockout stages of the World Cup with a game against Wales to spare.
