FIFA has confirmed that rainbow flags will be permitted inside Lumen Field when Iran face Egypt in Seattle's designated "Pride Match" on Friday, dismissing lobbying efforts from both Muslim-majority nations.
The world governing body stated that the 2026 World Cup is "an inclusive event that welcomes people from all backgrounds," adding that "fans of all sexual orientations and gender identities are welcome at matches and events."

What about the other Muslim countries in the tournament?
Easy fix - if Iran and Egypt are upset over it, they can skip the games. Problem solved. And one would think that they would skip the games, as participating at this point is not just a violation but an absolute insult to their muslim faith.
This is the only "Pride Match" from what I understand. Other games have no designation.

Nice try....NO CIGAR 👇

“World Cup’s ‘Pride Match’”
World Cup’s Perversion Match
There, fixed it
On the anniversary of the Left’s signature decisions (Windsor, Obergefell, Lawrence, Evans). The Left wants to celebrate activism.
Iran and Egypt can leave, we do not cater to YOU or your whack job cult.
Join the Anger Club ,LOL
If both teams forfeited at the same exact time, who would be the loser, besides seattle?
Wow, I went from chuckling about the pride flag nonsense to seething about your article in one hot second. I can’t believe the excuses people were given when their flags were removed; transparent anti-semitism!
“fans of all sexual orientations and gender identities are welcome at matches and events”
But only the homos and trannies are more equal.
Excerpt:
... Playing football in this organized manner, making the players into two factions, whether they are paid or not, should not be done, because it involves preventing remembrance of Allaah (dhikr) and prayer. It may also involve consuming wealth unlawfully and may be accompanied by gambling; it is akin to playing chess in some ways.
But if one or two people play with a ball and play football in an unorganized fashion, there is nothing wrong with that because it does not involve anything haraam. And Allaah knows best. ...
Nobody is asking anyone to be banned from attending games because of those characteristics. But you don't have to fly a flag singling them out as being more special than anyone else.
But Iran’s pre-revolution flag is strictly forbidden.
Just remember that Muslims will use the homosexuals until they gain the upper hand. Then, they will be eliminated.
