The "Premier" League leaders intend to continue showing special attention to representatives of LGBTQ organizations.

In recent years, English clubs instructed their captains not to wear armbands decorated in rainbow colors during matches.

However, these plans were not always implemented.

For example, "Man Utd" player Noussair Mazraoui refused to comply with the "Premier" League's directive, and former "Crystal Palace" defender Marc Guehi wrote "I love Jesus" on his armband.

The league organizers have come up with a solution to ensure that players do not avoid honoring the LGBTQ community in the future.

Currently, active discussions are taking place about using a ball colored with rainbow stripes during matches.
