Rejected petition Poppies - FIFA's denial of the England team to wear poppies
More details
Fifa has again rejected the Football Association's request for the England team to wear poppies on their shirts during Saturday's game against Spain.
The FA had asked for permission to wear poppies to support Remembrance Day.
But Fifa said: "Such initiatives would open the door to similar initiatives from all over the world, jeopardising the neutrality of football."
Football's world governing body decrees that shirts should not carry political, religious or commercial messages.
Wearing a poppy is a display of national pride and respect for all who have served this country. FIFA, nor anyone else should decree otherwise.
