Neuer investigated over rainbow armband as Pernille Harder calls on UEFA to reconsider moving more Euro 2020 games to Budapest

The Germany goalkeeper has been showing his support for the LGBT+ community but UEFA considers it a political statement

The German football association (DFB) could be hit with a fine because of Manuel Neuer's rainbow-coloured captain's armband.

Goal and SPOX can confirm reports from RTL and NTV that UEFA has launched an investigation into the DFB and the goalkeeper for wearing the special armband.

Neuer has been wearing the rainbow colours to show support for the LGBT+ community during 'Pride Month' but UEFA views it as a political statement.
