European national teams have told their captains not to wear it during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.Seven European national soccer teams - including England, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and Wales - announced their team captains would not wear armbands promoting diversity because they feared on-field punishments by tournament organizers during the 2022 World Cup.

Now, the European countries have decided against it, saying FIFA, soccer's international governing body, threatened the captains with yellow cards.
