FIFA SAYS RAINBOW ITEMS ARE ALLOWED

One day after Iran and Wales were eliminated, FIFA gave a public assurance that rainbow items and banners supporting protests in Iran will be allowed into stadiums. Security staff had seized items with rainbow colours and slogans such as “Women. Life. Freedom” to stop them from getting inside stadiums. In the first week, seven European teams lost the fight to wear multi-colored “One Love” armbands at games.
