The momentum behind this petition confirms that many individuals view the display of poppies as a fundamental act of remembrance. I am grateful to see that this perspective resonates with so many people who value our history.

FIFA's response to wearing a poppy is political is rubbish. It's in respect and memory of brave men and women who were injured and died so we can have the freedom to play bloody football!
Our national football teams should be allowed to pay respect to the people who gave their lives so we are all free to live as we wish. Fifa have no right to ban the poppy.
Absolutely disgraceful of FIFA
We are getting out of the EU because we want to run our own country.Fifa don't tell us what we can't do
What right do FIFA have to stop us remembering the many that died during the wars

I am disgusted by FIFAs stance over the wearing Poppies and so proud that our boys defied them. How on earth can it be deemed as being "politcal"? It is just the British way of remembering our fallen warriors irrespective of their colour, creed, religion or political bias. FIFA get your act together! and I very much hope that they will not pay the fines on principal.
