Rejected petition Step in and allow our home nations to wear their poppies with pride.

Stop FIFA from banning our home nations from wearing their poppies on their strips when they play over remembrance weekend in the World Cup Qualifiers in the UK

More details

It is widely broadcast that FIFA are prohibiting poppies on the shirts of Scotland & England when they play at Wembley on 11/11 and also Wales when they play in Cardiff.

Poppies are a massive part of our heritage and show our pride and support to all who defend and give / gave their lives for us.

It is ludicrous that FIFA are being allowed to impose this.

We ask please as the Government of all afore mentioned countries that you fight for our rights as British Citizens
