CNN —The plane carrying Brazil’s Women’s World Cup squad arrived in Australia for the 2023 tournament emblazoned with a tribute to Iranian human rights protestors.
“CBF chartered the private plane, whose messages are the responsibility of the aircraft owner,” the CBF said.
“It was not an institutional message.” CNN has reached out to the CBF and world governing body FIFA for comment.
Brazil is in Group F for the 2023 Women’s World Cup alongside France, Jamaica and Panama.
Last week, world soccer governing body FIFA announced that captains of teams of Women’s World Cup teams would be allowed to wear an armband around eight different social causes, including gender equality, inclusion and peace.
