Welsh FA hits back after rainbow hat ban

THE Wales team’s staff were among people made to remove their rainbow hats at their World Cup match against the USA, the Football Association of Wales has revealed. The FAW said it is “extremely disappointed” by the actions of employees at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Qatar on Monday. Security staff are accused of confiscating the multi-coloured hats from fans at the Group B game. Supporters said they were told it was a “banned symbol” despite Fifa previously saying they were not banned.
