Insigne addresses Iranian players in the locker room
Gianni Infantino, the President of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA), attended a match between Iran and New Zealand that ended in a 2-2 draw at Los Angeles Stadium. After the game, he entered the Iran team’s locker room, where he was seen shaking hands with the players and encouraging them to keep competing, affirming that their performance was good and that their upcoming two matches would make them proud. This was the first time in World Cup history that the host country was at war with one of the participants, despite the tournament being held in the United States, as Iran based its matches in Mexico due to American restrictions.
