England captain Leah Williamson wears OneLove armband at Arnold Clark Cup

England captain Leah Williamson wore a OneLove armband in the Lionesses opening game of the Arnold Clark Cup, a 4-0 win against South Korea on Thursday.

England hope to wear the OneLove armband at the 2023 Women's World Cup, Williamson said on Wednesday, as they aim to continue showing their support for the LGBTQ+ community.

FIFA had made it clear the multi-coloured armband, introduced to support diversity and inclusion, was not welcome at the 2022 men's World Cup in Qatar.

In a pre-match news conference before their game against Korea, Williamson had said that England are determined to continue to show their support.

In their run-up to winning the Euro 2022 title, Williamson, as well as the captains of the other teams in the tournament, wore a pride flag armband.

England will play their next match of the four-team tournament against Italy on Sunday as they prepare for the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand which begins on July 20.
