The armbands have been in the global spotlight since FIFA threatened several European team captains with yellow cards if they wore them
The armbands are intended to send a message of tolerance, connection and opposition to all forms of discrimination.
Now the company that makes the bands in the Netherlands says it is sold out after shipping 10,000 of them. The bands were originally launched in 2020 as part of an inclusiveness campaign by the Royal Dutch Football Association . The KNVB campaign opposes discrimination on the basis of race, skin colour, sexual orientation, culture, faith, nationality, gender, age and"all other forms of discrimination".
