Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Recently, among the fans of the clubs, it has become common to make flags for some countries and to make clothing for some players. These are flags and clothing that bear the emblem of the cross. And when we remind them of this matter, they say, "This is sports, not religion." Even if it is sports, it is not permissible to wear the emblem of disbelief.

Answer:
The emblem of shirk (associating partners with Allah) is not permissible for you to wear, neither in sports nor in anything else. Yes.
