Question Details

As a result of FIFA’s restrictions on players wearing [1] rainbow armbands during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the German Football Association (DFB) has taken the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). In a protest against FIFA’s rule regarding the armband meant to support the [2] community, the German players covered their lips in a team picture taken before their 2-1 defeat to Japan.

On Wednesday, Germany played against Japan. Before the game, FIFA warned the DFB of “severe” athletic fines if they breached tournament regulations by allowing their captain to wear the [1] armband, which promotes diversity and inclusion. The DFB told German captain Manuel Neuer not to wear the rainbow armband during the game.

If CAS rules quickly against the suspension’s legality, Neuer might continue to wear the captain’s armband for Germany’s next game against Spain on Sunday. CAS has set up a special ad hoc branch for this World Cup to ensure that applications are processed within 48 hours. Germany’s players protested by covering their lips as they sought to wear the rainbow armband during their team’s dramatic 2-1 defeat to Japan at the Khalifa Stadium.

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

OneLove

Solution :

The correct option is OneLove.


Explanation:

During the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, several European teams, including Germany, planned to wear the "OneLove" armband to advocate for inclusion, diversity, and LGBTQ+ rights. FIFA threatened athletic sanctions and yellow cards if captains wore the multi-colored armband. As a result, the German Football Association (DFB) instructed captain Manuel Neuer not to wear the armband, and in response, the German players covered their mouths during their pre-match team photo against Japan to symbolise that FIFA was silencing them.


Therefore, the name replaced by [1] in the passage is OneLove.
