FIFA have banned England from wearing the OneLove armband during their World Cup opener against Iran.
The controversy surrounding the World Cup in Qatar has been widely publicised and the latest incident involves nations looking to wear the OneLove armband during their games.
Now, according to the Telegraph, FIFA have banned England from wearing the armband, and captain Harry Kane could receive a booking as soon as the game kicks off if he decides to wear it, breaking the rules set by FIFA.
