Seattle<\/a>. <\/p>\nThe Independent<\/em> has approached Fifa for further comment. <\/p>\nThe report adds that Fifa is set to allow the Palestine flag into World Cup stadiums this summer, given it is the officially approved flag of a Fifa member association, in contrast to Iran\u2019s pre-revolutionary flag. <\/p>\n
In terms of FIFA\u2019s official regulations, Article 3.1.243 of their Stadium Code of Conduct states: \u201cAny materials, including but not limited to banners, flags, fliers, apparel and other paraphernalia, that are of a political, offensive and\/or discriminatory nature, containing wording, symbols or any other attributes aimed at discrimination of any kind against a country, private person or group on account of race, skin colour, ethnicity, national or social origin, gender identity and expression, disability, language, religion, political opinion or any other opinion, birth, wealth or any other status, sexual orientation or on any other grounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

They are also set to play Group G favourites Belgium in LA on 21 June before their final group game against Egypt on 26 June in Seattle, which has also been designated as the Pride Match taking place on Seattle Pride weekend. <\/p>\n
There is a scenario in which Iran could face the United States in Dallas in the round-of-32, if both countries finish second in their respective groups. <\/p>\n
The 2026 World Cup starts on 11 June. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
