Article Summary: Before the World Cup draw last week, the game in Seattle was designated as the Pride Match, featuring rainbow banners and flags in honor of the LGBT+ community.
Then, Iran's and Egypt's football teams were selected to play in the Pride Match. Both countries are notorious for their anti-homosexuality laws.
Both countries' football associations have since then opposed the match's Pride associations and have petitioned that the Pride events be cancelled. Egypt argues that the event opposes its cultural values, while Iran states that its team will not wear any accessories in support of Pride.
