FIFA confirms its No Discrimination campaign has been introduced from the planned quarter-finals stage so that all 32 captains will have the chance to wear this armband during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
According to Article 13.8.1 of the FIFA Equipment Regulations, this policy states, “For FIFA Final Competitions, the captain of each Team must wear the captain’s armband provided by FIFA.”
The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 rules, as agreed by each person in the game, exist to protect the reliability of the field of play for all participants and are evenly valid to all contending teams.
FIFA is a comprehensive organization that wants to put football to the benefit of society by supporting good and legitimate causes. Still, it must be done within the framework of the competition regulations, which everyone knows.
Moreover, FIFA President Gianni Infantino has restated his support of the LGBTQI+ community during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
“I have been speaking about this subject with the country’s highest leadership,” the FIFA President said. “They have confirmed, and I can confirm that everyone is welcome. If anyone says the opposite, it’s not the country’s opinion, and it’s certainly not the opinion of FIFA.”
