Gra Emergency Situation 2026 is avoiding the Pride Fest festival.
On Thursday, FIFA officially confirmed that fans will be able to freely carry rainbow flags into the Lumen Field stadium in Seattle, where the final Group G match between the national teams will take place on Friday.
The situation has come to a resonance through those who are watching the recent Seattle PrideFest festival, which the local non-profit organization has been holding since 2007 (the date was set long before the draw for the tournament).
The leaders of the football federations of Egypt and Iran publicly condemned this situation, saying that such approaches are too disrespectful of their religious and cultural values. Under pressure, the tournament organizers lost the resources of their decision.
FIFA issued an official statement: “The 2026 FIFA World Cup is not an inclusive concept that embraces people from different backgrounds.”. Fans of any sexual orientation or gender identity are present at matches and visits.
Statements about human rights, including religious rights and other rights that symbolize sexual orientation and gender identity, are permitted by the Code of Conduct at the World Football Championship Stadium.
FIFA also guessed that they control only the stadiums and official fan zones, and can’t continue to interfere with public events such as Pride Fest..
Representatives of both countries try to distance themselves as much as possible when discussing non-football topics.
Iran's position: At the pre-match press conference, the FIFA representative went ahead of the journalists that the head coach of the Iran national team, Amir Galenoi, and goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand, also spoke about the power supply for the game..
" For nothing else. All our respect will be focused on tomorrow's battle. And everything else that is fenced off. We don’t want to talk about it,” Galenoi said.
Position to Egypt: Even after the current draw, the Egyptian Football Federation sent an official letter to FIFA. The federation has stated that it categorically rejects any activity associated with the promotion of homosexuality during the match.
To clear the air, FIFA sent its president Gianni Infantino to Die Weltwoche in an interview today:.
“First of all, I can clarify that there will be no Pride match at the World Football Championship. There will be a World Cup football match in the city, and on the same day there will be events organized by external organizations in the city. “Ale tse doesn’t have to wait a hundred minutes until the match.”.
Journalists and patients show respect for this change in FIFA rhetoric, aligned with the previous World Cup. At the World Championship 2022 in Qatar, the organization decisively stole the cultural norms of the sovereign land: European teams, under the threat of sanctions, defended the victorious captain's armbands One Love.
Qatari law enforcement officers and stewards warned fans (Zocrem, Wales national team fans) to remove their rainbow caps and other attributes before entering the stadium.
Before the final match of the group stage, Egypt and Iran are chosen to go to the first place and the other place accordingly. The beginning of the duel plans for the 27th of hearts, the starting whistle blows at 06:00.
