FIFA to investigate a ‘series of incidents’ around England and Scotland poppy displays

FIFA is considering far wider charges against the English and Scottish Football Associations than simply the wearing of armbands with poppies on them during last week's World Cup qualifier at Wembley.

Players from both teams wore the armbands despite being warned by FIFA that it would contravene an International Football Association Board (IFAB) rule against equipment with commercial, personal, political or religious logos or messages.
