Judiciary affirms Iran flag ban
A court in Los Angeles has ruled that FIFA cannot allow the use of the former Iranian flag during the 2026 World Cup. That flag dates back to before the Islamic Revolution and is considered a symbol of opposition movements in Iran. The "Voice of Freedom" Institute had filed a lawsuit against FIFA's decision to ban the flag, but the judge stated that freedom of expression is limited in private spaces. For its part, Iran emphasized the need for FIFA to display only the official flag, with Iranian officials threatening to withdraw from matches if political slogans are heard.
