The Football Association have reportedly lodged an appeal urging FIFA to reconsider their decision to ban England players from wearing poppies on their shirts against Spain on Saturday.
FIFA stated that poppies would be in breach of their regulations banning "any political, religious or commercial messages" on kits.
However, the FA have chosen to appeal the verdict.
"Everybody is aware of our feelings on the importance of the wearing of poppies. We want to stress that," said Club England head Adrian Bevington.
"We wrote to FIFA three weeks ago setting out our request and were advised by them that for various technical reasons surrounding what you can wear on shirts that they were declining that request.
"Now we have written another letter to FIFA, from FA general secretary Alex Horne, making a fresh request to be considered and we will see where we go to with that."
FIFA have allowed a minute's silence to be held before the start of the match at Wembley.
