England have collectively decided to raise awareness for a number of causes by wearing a different armband on each matchday of the FIFA Women's World Cup.
After FIFA communicated the wearing of the 'One Love' armband would not be permitted at this summer's tournament in Australia and New Zealand, football's world governing body confirmed players could promote eight alternative causes.
The Lionesses have committed to highlighting each cause on each matchday they participate in, starting with wearing the 'Unite for Inclusion' armband in their World Cup opener against Haiti in Brisbane on Saturday.
Sarina Wiegman's side will wear the 'Unite for Indigenous People' armband in their second Group D game against Denmark in Sydney on July 28, and the 'Unite for Gender Equality' armband when they face China in Adelaide on August 1.
Should England progress to the knockout phases they will wear the 'Unite for Peace' (round-of-16), the 'Unite for Education for All' (quarter-finals), the 'United for Zero Hunger' (semi-finals) and the 'Unite for Ending Violence against Women' armbands respectively.
England defender Millie Bright said: "We wanted to go with FIFA's proposal. As a group, we felt really strongly about all the causes, and we couldn't separate one from the other. We feel that they are all important and deserve recognition and our support.
