FIFA President Gianni Infantino posed smiling in a photo pointing to the “One Love” bracelet, which German Interior Minister Nanci Faeser wore during the match in which the German team lost to Germany on Wednesday. Japan 2-1, for the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
The image was released this Thursday, 24 hours after Faeser wore, together with the head of the international soccer governing body, the bracelet that German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer originally planned to use, as a sign of support for the LGBTIQ+ community.
But the goalkeeper could not do it because he was going to be reprimanded, as ordered by FIFA to avoid any type of demonstration or demonstration by the soccer players in relation to sexual diversity, prohibited in the host country.
According to what was indicated by the ANSA news agency, the one who offered the most dissemination to that image in question was the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, which titled the note: “The photo of the controversy.”
The same armband was worn by Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib on Wednesday as she stood in the stands during her country’s first match at the 2022 World Cup, beating Canada 1-0.
