Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was in serious trouble after UEFA opened an investigation against him on charges of propaganda on the pitch.
In the match against France and Portugal, Noyer wore a captain's armband with the colors of the LGBT community on his arm, prompting UEFA to open an investigation into the matter. But the German Federation immediately came to the defense of the guard of the "armors" saying that this was an action to defend the cause of this community and not for propaganda.
" UEFA investigated this issue and considering that it was promoting a good cause, ie diversity, the team will not face disciplinary proceedings , " said the UEFA spokesman.
Such problems are prevalent in football including racism as people are very interested in sports and the impact in such cases is not small.
