LGBTQ groups urge FIFA to combat discrimination and protect LGBTQ rights

To encourage more inclusiveness in the world, the Brussels RainbowHouse and Brussels Gay Sports have urged FIFA to adhere to its commitments and values to combat all forms of discrimination and protect human rights in football and society.

In a joint statement released by the two organizations, they said, “We ask FIFA president Gianni Infantino to grant the Red Devils their freedom of expression by wearing the ‘One Love’ armband during all matches in Qatar for more inclusiveness in the world.”

Earlier, seven European countries agreed that their team captains would wear the ‘One Love’ armband during the World Cup games, to highlight and support LGBTQ rights.
