Understanding Football’s Rules on Religious Statements on Kit ⚽️✝️

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi made headlines for customising his rainbow armband with the message “I ❤️ Jesus” ahead of Palace’s match against Newcastle.

Team captains wear rainbow armbands (or laces) as part of a campaign backed by the charity Stonewall to demonstrate their support for LGBT+ inclusion and the battle against homophobia.

The Football Association (FA) reminded the Palace captain that modifying the armband in this way breached kit rules.

However, Guehi, a devout Christian, ignored the FA and did the same thing again during Palace’s subsequent match against Ipswich, this time writing, “Jesus loves you.”

So, what do the rules say?

⚽️ FIFA Council to Initiate Investigation into Israel 🇮🇱

The FIFA Council has launched a formal investigation into Israel’s alleged rule breaches, following an official proposal from Palestine.

In March, the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) called for a vote at FIFA’s Congress in May to suspend Israel due to the ongoing war in Gaza.

Thursday’s FIFA Council meeting agenda includes a “proposal submitted by the Palestine Football Association at the 74th FIFA Congress.” The PFA claims Israel’s federation has committed “violations of FIFA regulations” and is pushing for sanctions against Israel’s national teams and clubs.

Did you know? 🎾🇺🇸

In 2011, US Open umpires filed a lawsuit against the United States Tennis Association, claiming they were owed overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act for working over 40 hours per week.

Three years later, a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit.

The court ruled that the umpires were independent contractors rather than employees, and as such, were not entitled to overtime pay.

This classification was based on the umpires’ control over their schedules, their ability to choose which positions to accept, and their freedom to work other jobs and tournaments.
