In a powerful statement published shortly after the game started, the German Football Association warned Fifa: 'Denying us the armband is the same as denying us a voice.' Their message was reinforced by the German interior minister, Nancy Faeser, who also wore a OneLove armband, which promotes tolerance, diversity and LGBTQ+ rights, as she sat next to Fifa’s president, Gianni Infantino.
