Fifa allow England to wear poppy on black armbands

Fifa has agreed that the England team can wear poppies on their black armbands during Saturday's friendly against Spain at Wembley.

The move came after Prince William and Prime Minister David Cameron wrote to Fifa asking that England be allowed to wear shirts embroidered with poppies.

Fifa bans political, religious or commercial messages on shirts.

The Football Association of Wales is now considering its position ahead of Wales' game against Norway.

Mr Cameron said "The idea that wearing a poppy to remember those who have given their lives for our freedom is a political act is absurd.

"Wearing a poppy is an act of huge respect and national pride."
