The

Fédération Internationale de Football Association

(Fifa) has told World Cup federations that the rainbow flag "will not be banned" in stadiums for the next round of matches, and that Qatar has now given reassurances on the matter after a series of incidents culminating in the renunciation of the captains of seven European national teams to wear the "OneLove" armband.
