55 member states in talks over collective withdrawal from FIFA.
Denmark, England, Wales, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland had planned to wear the One Love armband at the World Cup in Qatar to promote anti-discrimination and support for sexual minorities. But same-sex conduct is a criminal offense in Qatar, and FIFA has issued a warning to England.

The team has indicated that if the players violate the rules to wear the One Love armband, they will face at least one yellow card, and eventually the teams gave up the action, which caused dissatisfaction, and the German team also covered their mouths in protest when they took a group photo before the match against Japan.
Danish FA President Jesper Moller expressed his anger at FIFA's decision, which (to leave FIFA) is not a spur-of-the-moment decision and has been discussed in the Nordic region since August. But I think if Denmark leaves on its own, it may face a big challenge, so I hope to work with other European countries to make the decision.

Members discussed the matter.
The Danish FA has also made it clear that it will not support the re-election of FIFA president Enfantinou, with Muna saying: "FIFA has 211 member countries, and I understand that the current president has the support of 207 countries, but Denmark is not one of them, and will not be one of them in the future.
