Iran's football federation is seeking a series of guarantees from FIFA over its national team's World Cup participation, including on flags carried by supporters in stadiums. Among a list of demands made by the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran is that only officially recognized national flags should be displayed during the team's games, extending to those flags carried by fans in the stands. If enforced, that would prevent the visibility of Pride rainbow flags at Iran's Group G match against Egypt in Seattle on June 26, which has been designated a "Pride Match" by the city's local organizing committee.
