The honorary president of Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeness, criticized the German Football Association for not being tough enough on FIFA's ban on wearing armbands for German players in support of LGBT people at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
“At first, our football union promised that it would be principled in the issue of wearing a headband, but as a result, they did not take serious measures. They did not have the courage to go against FIFA's decision.
By the way, I consider the current FIFA President Gianni Infantino a disaster for all football. Our football union had a great opportunity to say to him: "You are going too far." But we missed this opportunity, ”the Bild specialist quotes.
Recall, earlier it became known that the Danish Football Federation is ready to withdraw from FIFA due to the ban on wearing the One Love captaincy armbands at the current World Cup.
