Egypt-Iran match faces crisis over gay support
FIFA, the International Football Federation, rejected Egypt’s and Iran’s requests to ban the display of rainbow-colored flags supporting the LGBT community during the teams' match at the 2026 World Cup to be held in Seattle, USA. Despite their demands to exclude any symbols supporting homosexuality, FIFA indicated that freedom of expression is permitted inside the stadium as long as it complies with the code of conduct. It is worth noting that celebrations by the LGBT community are organized by the city of Seattle in conjunction with Pride events. This crisis reflects the ongoing tension between freedom of expression and celebrations of joy and diversity, amid expectations of potential protests by the local audience.
