US team reveals Pride logo to bring LGBTQ+ visibility to Qatar World Cup
The American men’s football team has redesigned its logo in support of LGBTQ+ rights ahead of the World Cup in Qatar. Rainbow colours are replacing the traditional red, white and blue on the logo in honour of LGBTQ+ players and fans attending the games.
A spokesperson for the US team explained it would be in place at every location managed by the American football team, the Daily Mail reported. “To ensure we foster a community of belonging that is welcoming and supportive to all,” they said in a statement.
This is despite a FIFA declaration that teams competing should “focus on football” rather than “moral lessons” to other countries.
Similarly, the Danish team’s request to wear shirts with the slogan “human rights for all” has been rejected by the governing body.
