But FIFA's threat of on-field punishment 鈥� via showing a yellow card 鈥� for players pushed some World Cup teams to back down Monday and abandon a plan for their captains to wear the armbands in question. That would mean the captain would start the game with a yellow, just one caution away from ejection from that game and the next.

European teams may have expected merely to be fined.

FIFA rules says: 鈥淔or FIFA final competitions, the captain of each team must wear the captain鈥檚 armband provided by FIFA.鈥�

No one wore the 鈥淥ne Love鈥� armband Monday. England鈥檚 Harry Kane wore the approved black 鈥淣o Discrimination鈥� armband in the match with Iran.

The England team also took the knee prior to kickoff as an anti-racism gesture

It is "what we stand for as a team and have done for a long period of time", England manager Gareth Southgate said before the match.

Asked Monday whether Canada planned to follow England's example by making a gesture, defender Steven Vitoria replied: "I think this group is always ready to help what we believe is correct.,

"I don't really want to go into that detail but I think our image as Canada as a country, we're always here to protect the good. It's a sport but life isn't always a sport."

A Canada Soccer official said later that Hutchinson would wear the "No Discrimination" armband, in a decision that was made by the entire team.

The armband issue is the latest dispute that threatened to overshadow play on the field. Since being awarded the World Cup hosting rights in 2010, conservative Muslim Qatar has faced a raft of criticism, including its treatment of low-paid migrant workers and woman and its suppression of free speech. It came under particular fire for its criminalization of homosexuality.

Previously FIFA had planned to introduce the "No Discrimination" campaign starting with the quarterfinals.

FIFA had previously proposed captains wear armbands with socially aware, though generic, slogans. With the 鈥淣o Discrimination鈥� armband to appear at the quarterfinal stage.

On Monday, it offered a compromise, saying captains of all 32 teams 鈥渨ill have the opportunity鈥� to wear an armband with the slogan 鈥淣o Discrimination鈥� in the group games.

"FIFA is an inclusive organization that wants to put football to the benefit of society by supporting good and legitimate causes, but it has to be done within the framework of the competition regulations which are known to everyone," FIFA said in a statement.

The statement said FIFA president Gianni Infantino "has reiterated his support of the LGBTQI+ community during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022."

鈥淚 have been speaking about this subject with the country鈥檚 highest leadership,鈥� Infantino said in the statement. 鈥淭hey have confirmed, and I can confirm that everyone is welcome. If anyone says the opposite, well it鈥檚 not the opinion of the country and it鈥檚 certainly not the opinion of FIFA.鈥�
