FIFA once punished Cameroon after they wore sleeveless tops in 2002.
As Denmark and their kit manufacturer Hummel were called out by the host nation Qatar for their attempts to obscure the sponsor, we look back at one particular example where FIFA stamped down on what they classified as illegal kits.
In 2004, Cameroon once again angered FIFA with their kit design. This time they went for a onesie during the African Cup of Nations, FIFA handed them a $154,000 fine and they were docked six points from their 2006 World Cup qualifying group. However, the proposed punishment was withdrawn after Puma threatened legal action. It was announced earlier this week thatKit manufacturers Hummel said: “We don’t wish to be visible during a tournament that has cost thousands of people their lives.
“We support the Danish national team all the way, but that isn't the same as supporting Qatar as a host nation. "For that reason, we dispute Hummel's claim that this tournament has cost thousands of people their lives. Furthermore, we whole-heartedly reject the trivialising our genuine commitment to protect the health and safety of the 30,000 workers who built FIFA World Cup stadiums and other tournament projects.
