"FIFA has made it very clear that if our captain wears that armband on the pitch, he will be subject to sporting sanctions. As the FA, we cannot place players in situations where they face sporting sanctions, including a yellow card," the statement said.

The statement continued: "We are prepared to pay fines for violations of the jersey regulations in order to uphold our commitment to wear armbands. However, we cannot put players in a situation where they are either booked or forced to leave the pitch."
"We are disappointed by FIFA's decision, which we believe is unprecedented. We wrote to FIFA in September to tell them that we would like to actively support inclusion in football by wearing the One Love armband, but received no response. We are disappointed by our players and our coaches, who are strong supporters of inclusion and will show their support in other ways."
It was previously reported that if the team captain wears a rainbow armband, he will be fined a yellow card.

England applied to FIFA as early as September to wear the "One Love" armband during the World Cup, but no results have been obtained so far. Captain Carney once said at a press conference that this is the common will of the entire British army. After communicating with FIFA, it is certain that the opponent's decision will be known before the game, and the coach Schiffki also supports the team's actions.
However, many foreign media reported that the captain wearing the "One Love" armband will be given a yellow card by the football card immediately after coming out.
According to the rules of the World Cup, players will be suspended every time they accumulate two yellow cards. Therefore, if the captain who insists on wearing the rainbow armband in every game wears the "One Love" armband for two consecutive games, they will be suspended in the third group match , If the team has not yet confirmed its qualifications by then, or seriously disrupts the team's deployment.
