The Norwegian men's national football team took the initiative with jerseys that say "Human rights" before the World Cup qualifier against Gibraltar earlier this week.
And the Germans followed in their qualifying match.
Emil Forsberg, who plays in Leipzig, Germany on a daily basis, believes that it is a great initiative by, among others, club teammate Lukas Klostermann.
- Human rights are a matter of course, it is not even an issue.
And I know that we are on it and working towards it, says Forsberg.
He also believes that the important thing is to work towards the issue, and not how to do it, something that Mikael Lustig nodded in support of.
- SvFF (Swedish Football Association) has been down and pushed the issue, and that is the line that we and SvFF have chosen.
We back it to one hundred percent.
I'm sure we stand for the right things, he says.
