Ahead of Iran’s opening World Cup match in Los Angeles, a group of protesters gathers near SoFi Stadium and says it plans to disrupt the game. The reports describe protesters arriving outside the venue roughly six hours before kick-off, at an intersection about a ten-minute walk from the stadium. The protesters are said to plan to show their opposition by turning their backs on the players and booing during the national anthem. They also wave anti-regime flags as they assemble near the stadium. The accounts emphasize the protesters’ stated intention to create disruptions around the match’s pre-game moments and ceremonies rather than detailing any breach of security or impact on the match itself. The reports do not provide further information about the organizers, estimated number of participants, or any arrests or injuries. Iran’s match is identified as its World Cup opener scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium.
