Germany Covers Mouth At World Cup After Armband Ban

Germany’s national soccer team made a bold statement before their World Cup match against Japan in Qatar. In response to FIFA’s decision to prohibit European team captains from wearing armbands showing support for the LGBTQ community, the players chose to cover their mouths.

In a statement shared on their official Twitter account, the team expressed their intention to use the captain’s armband as a symbol of inclusivity and mutual respect. They wanted to join other countries in raising awareness about human rights and the importance of unwavering values.

The team firmly stands by their stance and believes that being denied the armband is equivalent to having their voices suppressed. By covering their mouths, they visually and effectively convey their determination to ensure their message is heard.
