FIFA omits Iraq and Saudi flags at World Cup
The International Football Federation (FIFA) has decided to exempt Saudi Arabia and Iraq from the tradition of placing their flags on the ground before the 2026 World Cup matches, due to the presence of the name of God on the flags. Accordingly, the flags will be displayed upright during matches held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico to ensure respect for religious beliefs. This change is part of enhancements to the opening ceremonies, aimed at satisfying fans and accommodating the requests of participating teams.
