FIFA bans Denmark from training in human rights shirts

The Danish Federation, long hostile to the organization of the tournament in Qatar, wants to lead the fight in favor of migrant workers and the defense of LGBT rights in the emirate.

We have sent a request to FIFA, but the answer is negative. We are sorry, but we must take it into account,” said DBU Director General Jacob Jensento the Danish agency Ritzau.

The Federation had announced that their training shirts would show “critical messages” and two sponsors (Danske Spil and Arbejdernes Landsbank) they had agreed to have their logo replaced on them.

The FIFAwhich prohibits political messages, last week asked the teams to “concentrate on football” and not to enter “every ideological or political battle.”

The DBU will accept the ban on critical jerseys to avoid fines and penalties, he said.

“For me it’s a t-shirt with a very simple message about universal human rights”Jensen stressed.
