LGBT+ rights activists and campaigners have condemned FIFA’s threats to sanction players who wear OneLove armbands at the World Cup in Qatar. England, Wales and five other European nations have confirmed their players will not wear the armband as a result.

On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by Sky News’ sports correspondent Rob Harris in Qatar, and Jon Holmes, from the campaigning and advocacy group Sports Media LGBT+ about FIFA’s missed opportunity to make a stand for equality in football.
