The day after the scandal, however, the first DFB star commented on the situation.

Niclas Füllkrug has condemned FIFA's ban on the "One Love" armband at the desert tournament in Qatar as a "disappointing decision".

"Even if we have to do without the bandage, we will continue to stand up for our values," said the Werder Bremen striker of the

World Cup 2022: The topic of human rights was much discussed in the DFB team

The subject of human rights was fundamentally discussed a lot in the DFB selection.

“We are all aware of the circumstances and condemn them.

You have to say it so clearly.

That's totally unacceptable, but the power to really change these things is in someone else's hands," said the 29-year-old, adding: "We can draw attention to things, we can point the finger at them, talk about them - but the decisions are made by others.”

FIFA's action had made waves.

Among other things, an Olympic champion asked the DFB team to leave for the World Cup.

An ex-national player, on the other hand, took a completely different opinion.
