The Team GB football squad will take the knee before matches at the Tokyo Olympics. The decision follows clarification from the International Olympic Committee that gestures such as this were permitted on the field of play prior to the start of competition, a statement on englandfootball.com said. The trio will captain games on rotation through the tournament. “However Steph, Sophie and Kim will lead the way on the pitch. This is a very close group on and off the pitch and I have been so impressed how they have all come together.”
