FIFA is planning to prohibit Iran’s pre-revolution flag, known as the Lion and Sun emblem, from being displayed at the upcoming World Cup. The move follows a request from Mehdi Taj, president of the Iranian Football Federation, who insisted that Iran’s participation depends on banning unauthorized flags. Iran, which had earlier threatened to withdraw from the tournament after U.S. and Israeli attacks, has now confirmed its participation and will play its group matches in California and Seattle.
The ban proposal has sparked strong opposition from the Institute for Voices of Liberty, which expressed deep concern and warned of possible legal action in California’s state or federal courts. Legal adviser Shahrokh Mokhtarzadeh said the organization has not received any response from FIFA and is prepared to initiate legal proceedings if the ban is enforced.
Iran will begin its World Cup campaign on June 15 against New Zealand in Group G, which also includes Belgium and Egypt. The team has shifted its base camp from Arizona to Mexico.
