FIFA has ordered Belgium to change their away shirt because it has the word “love” written on it.
The white kit, which also has a rainbow trim, is not related to the OneLove armbands that England and Wales abandoned yesterday, but rather a collaboration with the Tomorrowland music festival.
Nonetheless, FIFA has demanded that the word “love” on the collar be removed.
Peter Bossaert, CEO of the Belgian Football Association, said: “The word love must disappear. It’s sad, but FIFA leaves us no choice. The rest of the equipment remains unchanged.”
The team has also been told that they cannot wear their multicolored warm-up kit, and their captain, Eden Hazard, will not wear the One Love armband, like Harry Kane and Gareth Bale.
