James Johnson says armband options ‘don’t go far enough’FA considering bids for other Fifa tournaments
Football Australia’s chief executive, James Johnson, has expressed disappointment at Fifa’s refusal to allow players to wear rainbow armbands during the 2023 Women’s World Cup, which begins on Thursday.
Fifa recently confirmed players wearing a rainbow armband in support of LGBTQ+ rights would face on-field sanctions, such as yellow cards, as was the case at last year’s men’s World Cup in Qatar.
