Qatar World Cup stadium security officers are alert to terrorism and are paying attention to prevent the use of various colors of the rainbow.
Grant Wall, a football reporter who works at CBS in the United States, said on Twitter that “the security guard did not allow him into the stadium, saying that the rainbow shirt he was wearing was not allowed because it was a political suit. “
Earlier, the International Football Federation (FIFA) announced a de facto ban policy, such as giving players a yellow card, not a fine, for wearing a “rainbow armband,” which has strong meaning in support of sexual minorities.
As a result, England and Germany captains Harry Kane and Manuel Neuer, who had initially announced that they would wear them at the cost of a fine, were left with no choice but to surrender under such harsh sanctions from FIFA.
The wearing of the rainbow armbands was interpreted as a protest against discrimination by European teams in Qatar, where various human rights controversies such as the oppression of LGBTI people and the exploitation of migrant labor arose before the tournament.
The US government has launched a public criticism of FIFA sanctions for wearing the colors of the rainbow.

FIFA has respected the cause of the rainbow sash, but has a principle that sport should be free from politics, so it has restricted the use of paraphernalia and ceremonies that can be interpreted politically, and has come up with related rules (Article 13(8) ).
However, FIFA could not prevent British TV commentator Alex Scott (38) from wearing a rainbow armband and walking out on camera in the England v Iran match on the 21st.
