The Football Association of Wales will hold talks with FIFA following reports fans had rainbow-themed items confiscated ahead of their World Cup opener against the United States of America.
The Rainbow Wall, Wales' official LGBTQ+ supporters' group, issued a statement on the night of the Group B encounter stating that female fans who had worn rainbow bucket hats to the match had been told to remove them.
Former Wales international Laura McAllister also took to social media to vent her frustrations at having her Wales rainbow bucket hat confiscated by staff at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, although she later managed to sneak the garment into the venue.
And following the experiences of many fans - along with FAW staff who were part of the Red Wall - the governing body of Welsh football has confirmed it will collate information on the alleged incidents and present FIFA with their findings.
A statement read: "On Monday, Cymru returned to the FIFA World Cup for the first time in 64 years, an historic moment for the squad, the valued fans - The Red Wall / Y Wal Goch - and the nation.
"However, the Football Association of Wales were extremely disappointed by reports that members of Y Wal Goch, which included FAW staff members, were asked to remove and discard their Rainbow Wall bucket hats before entry to the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium. These bucket hats were created in partnership with the FAW.
"The FAW has collated information on these alleged incidents and will be addressing this matter directly with FIFA today (22 November). The FAW will not be releasing any further comment at this stage."
