Why rainbow armbands are dividing opinion at Women's Euro 2025
For a symbol meant to promote tolerance and inclusion, rainbow coloured captain's armbands at the Women's European Championship are actually proving to be more divisive, with some captains wearing them, and others preferring not to. The rainbow armband are a symbol of solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. UEFA, the governing body of European football, has given all captains at the Women's Euros the option of choosing which armband they want to wear during games: there are standard yellow and blue armbands with the word 'respect' emblazoned on them, or the player can opt for bright colors of the rainbow flag. 'UEFA is committed to making football a safe and welcoming environment for everybody, independent of who we love, our gender identification or gender expression,' the governing body said before the women's Euro 2022, where it also gave team captains the option of wearing rainbow bands. France captain Griedge Mbock Bathy has worn the regular band. So has Spain's Irene Paredes. Italy's Cristiana Girelli also sported the regular armband when she captained the team for the quarterfinal clash against Norway. But in a previous game against Spain, with Girelli unavailable, Elena Linari captained the team and opted to wear a rainbow armband. Mbock Bathy explained her decision to not wear the rainbow band on her arm. 'Highlighting a single issue also potentially excludes the others,' she was quoted as saying by The Associated Press. 'We cannot champion a single cause through our diverse group because there are so many causes to defend.' Mbock said the France team is 'so diverse that we cannot highlight just one cause. I think that the band with the word 'respect' really represents what we want to convey as a message and that is the most important thing.' Germany captain Janina Minge, Switzerland captain Lia Wälti, Norway captain Ada Hegerberg, Wales captain Angharad James, Iceland's Glódís Viggósdóttir, England's Leah Williamson are among those who have opted to sport the rainbow armband. England defender Lucy Bronze has also opted to wear a rainbow wristband during her team's quarterfinal win over Sweden, whose captain, Kosovare Asllani, also wore a rainbow armband.

IND vs ENG 4th Test: Manchester weather update – Will rain disrupt play at Old Trafford?
Heavy rains hit manchester Persistent heavy rain threw India's preparations for the crucial fourth Test against England into disarray as their first training session in Manchester was forced entirely indoors. The Old Trafford nets, which started as optional, saw several key players—including captain Shubman Gill , KL Rahul , and Jasprit Bumrah—skip practice altogether. The rest of the squad reported to the ground amid downpours and gloomy skies, leaving the press and onlookers with no view of the team's indoor activities. Manchester's famously unpredictable weather is proving a real challenge. Over the past three days, the city has swung from brief sunshine to steady rain. The forecast for the Test's opening day, July 23, predicts a 60% chance of morning showers and temperatures dropping to 17°C, raising concerns about start-time delays and tricky playing conditions. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The uncooperative weather is just one of several headaches for the Indian camp.

As both teams chase the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, all eyes remain on the Old Trafford skies, knowing they could play as decisive a part in the Test outcome as any player on the field.
