LONDON -- Players from England and the United States Women's national team unveiled a banner before kick off in their match Friday at Wembley showing their support for victims of sexual abuse.
The players held a banner saying "Protect the Players" in the Wembley center circle, while Wembley's arch above the stadium was lit teal for 15 minutes before kick off. Both teams also wore teal armbands in a show of solidarity.
This came off the back of a week where the Sally Yates report was published detailing systemic abuse in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL).
