Orange anyway with OneLove band at the World Cup: “We rely on this statement”
In any case, the Dutch national team will play with the OneLove captain’s armband at the World Cup in Qatar, KNVB general secretary Gijs de Jong has informed the NOS. “We go for that statement. And if there is a fine, then there will be one.”
Since September 2022, the various captains of the national teams of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, England, Wales, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands have been playing with the OneLove band. The eight World Cup participants, including the Netherlands, want to do the same in Qatar.
However, FIFA never commented on the announcement. Not with a ban and not with a permit. The unions in Wales and England announced earlier this week that they would not be deterred by a possible fine. The KNVB is now following this example.

The OneLove campaign in football stands for solidarity and against any form of discrimination. Feyenoord captain Orkun Kökcü’s refusal to wear the ribbon has caused quite a stir recently.
