French national team captain Hugo Lloris has expressed his attitude toward wearing the captain's armband in the colors of the LGBT community at the World Cup in Qatar.
According to the French goalkeeper, respect for the culture and traditions of the country is the key issue. Thus, Lloris will have a regular armband on his arm for all upcoming matches of the World Cup.
In France, we expect foreigners coming to our country to follow our rules and respect our laws. And I will do the same when I go to Qatar. It's that simple.
