FIFPro, the union representing professional footballers, notes that the Canadian women started the trend and says women's national team players will wear the purple wristbands 'in a show of collective solidarity and desire for positive change.'
The purple wristbands the Canadian women's soccer team wore during the SheBelieves Cup to symbolize its fight for equality will be on show worldwide during the FIFA April international window.
The other teams at the tournament also wore the purple wristbands, as did Canada coach Bev Priestman. "With this commitment ready to be enshrined, FIFPro and member unions will continue to push for and support progress towards equitable conditions at national level for players around the world," FIFPro said.
