"FIFA's Controversial Decision on Armbands at Women's World Cup"

FIFA has unveiled eight armbands that captains of the 32 teams can choose to wear during the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand next month. However, FIFA has opted out of using the rainbow armband, which is a symbol of LGBTQ+ pride. Instead, they have introduced a heart-shaped, multicolored "Unite for Inclusion" armband, influenced by the Pan-African flag and pansexual flag. The armbands aim to promote awareness of various causes, including inclusion, gender equality, peace, education, ending violence against women, and more. These themes will be highlighted during all 64 matches of the tournament.
