La nota tomada del portal Daily Mail dice asi:
Fifa has agreed that the England football team can wear a poppy on their black armbands during Saturday's match with Spain, the Football Association confirmed this evening.
The decision comes after days of campaigning by the FA and Government to allow the memorial flower to be displayed during the match against Spain.
Earlier Prince William wrote to Fifa to express his dismay at their decision not to allow England players to wear commemorative poppies during the friendly match.
In the note penned privately in his role as president of the Football Association, the Prince asked football's international governing body to reconsider its decision.
