The match between Egypt and Iran is scheduled for June 28 at Lumen Field in Seattle as a final Group L group-stage fixture.
Both Iran and Egypt requested that FIFA ban LGBTQ+ ceremonies and flag displays, citing religious and cultural concerns.
FIFA and local organizers decided to permit rainbow flags and LGBTQ+ symbols to be brought into the stadium as part of the tournament's broader inclusivity measures.
This decision reflects the 2026 World Cup's hosting across North America and the venues' commitment to inclusion, contrasting sharply with restrictions observed at previous World Cups held in more conservative jurisdictions.
