Rainbow flags are displayed by supporters around Seattle ahead of and during the World Cup match between Egypt and Iran, after both teams’ officials raise objections to a Pride-related celebration connected to the fixture. Multiple outlets report that the atmosphere in the stadium area includes Iranian and Egyptian fans alongside rainbow imagery, with flags visible despite complaints. ABC Australia and NDTV describe rainbow flags being seen around Seattle as the match approaches and while the teams play. NDTV and Daily Mail also report that protests and contentious reactions occur in connection with the Pride theme, including demonstrations outside the match setting. Deccan Chronicle says FIFA confirms that Pride flags are permitted at the Egypt–Iran match, framing the dispute as one in which Egypt and Iran both ask FIFA to prevent Pride-related celebrations. Overall, sources agree that the issue centers on FIFA’s decision allowing Pride symbols while officials from Egypt and Iran seek restrictions, and that the match takes place in a host city where Pride recognition is part of the broader public context.
