| Subject: To hell with the propaganda: FIFA set to relax ban on war dead commemorations at games Sun Sep 24, 2017 7:43 pm | |
| FIFA is set to relax the rules that ban teams from commemorating non-sporting events at soccer matches in response to high-profile disputes with British associations over honoring war dead. England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales were fined by FIFA last year for displaying poppies at World Cup qualifying matches. World soccer’s governing body ruled that poppies flouted regulations banning political, religious or personal symbols on kit and in stadiums, leading to the British nations to push for a change. Months of talks led to FIFA distributing a circular to member associations on Friday presenting draft proposals that tighten the definition of political symbols and allow commemorations by teams to be decided on a case-by-case basis.
