Seattle’s World Cup “Pride Match” will feature Iran and Egypt, two countries where homosexuality is illegal, on June 26.
The Group G clash, taking place on a Friday at Lumen Field, coincides with the city’s pride weekend.
The Pride Match was planned before the teams were selected and in advance of the Friday’s 2026 World Cup Draw in Washington D.C.
“The Pride Match has been scheduled to celebrate and elevate Pride events in Seattle and across the country, and it was planned well in advance,” a spokesperson of the Pride Match Advisory Committee told Outsports.
“It is a Host City–led expression of Seattle and Washington State’s commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone belongs: players, fans, residents, and visitors alike. Soccer has a unique power to unite people across borders, cultures and beliefs.
“We are honored to host a Pride Match and to celebrate Pride as part of a global football community. This match reflects our ongoing commitment to respect, dignity, and unity for all.”
The local organizing committee in Seattle, which is one of the U.S. host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, announced a Pride Match design contest over the summer — inviting artists from Washington State “with credibility in authentically representing the LGBTQ+ community” to submit their concept.
In a disclaimer on the Seattle World Cup website, the organizing committee said “the Pride Match design is an independent creation specifically for the Seattle FWC26 LOC and is not an official FIFA asset. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by FIFA.”

That’s so gay.
Now you know why they call us “The Great Satan”.
Now I understand.
We are so proud of our mental illness. Oh look, a rainbow.
This will only quicken their bloodlust.

Lovely.
Are their fans coming, or did they leave their fans behind?
That will be one greasy sausage party... And it will obviously need to be all beef sausages. No pork for those pretty boys.
Awesome! The unholy alliance of muzzies and homos come to fruition.
This one may have to go up the pike to Vancouver especially if anyone is expecting there to be fans present.
Trump was questioned recently about some cities such as Seattle being problematic. He said they will look at it, and could move the events to a different city.
This merits watching...
I’ve never seen a 5 year old do a bicycle kick properly.
I am glad I live to see this moment.
We’ll have a gay, Old Time!
