Like last year, the campaign is meant to be linked with the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, which takes place on March 21. Dutch football association KNVB, sports channel ESPN and the two professional football leagues already expressed the wish to organize the OneLove campaign annually around this date. At the end of last year, the Dutch men's national team wanted to play in the World Cup with the OneLove armband along with several other countries.
