Germany captain Manuel Neuer and the German Football Association (DFB) will not face any disciplinary action from UEFA for wearing a rainbow armband at Euro 2020.
To show DFB's support for the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month, Neuer, 35, wore an armband against France and Portugal.
UEFA was investigating whether it violated its rules by not allowing athletes to make political statements. But UEFA said in a statement on Sunday that Neuer was "promoting a good cause" & c opted to take further action.
"UEFA has today shared with the DFB that they have halted review of the Rainbow captain's armband worn by Manuel Neuer," the German Football Association said on Twitter. "In 1 letter, the armband is assessed as a team symbol for diversity and thus for 'best cause'."
Germany will take on Hungary in their final Group F group match on Wednesday & Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter said on Sunday he was going to write to UEFA asking permission to light up the Allianz Arena in Munich with rainbow colors.
"It is an important sign of tolerance & equality," Reiter told the news agency DPA.
"It is important for the state capital Munich to establish a clear gesture of solidarity with the LGBTI community in Hungary, which is suffering from the current strict homophobic & transphobic legislation of the Hungarian government," the Munich Council said in its application.
European football's governing body said on Sunday that UEFA is investigating "potential discriminatory incidents" during Hungary's European Championship matches against Portugal & France at Budapest's Puskas Arena.
During Hungary's opening match against Portugal on Tuesday, images on social media showed banners with "anti-LMBTQ" on them – the Hungarian abbreviation for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender & queer.
Amid strong criticism from human rights groups & opposition parties, Hungary's parliament last week passed legislation that bans the spread in schools of material promoting homosexuality and gender change.
