The American Federation removed the emblem of the Islamic Republic in support of anti-regime demonstrations
Iran has requested that the US team be removed from the World Cup for “removing the name of God” from its flag. The Iranian demand is due to the fact that, in order to promote the decisive match of the third day, the American Soccer Federation has published on its social networks an image of the Iranian flag without the emblem of the Islamic Republic.
Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported that FIFA Article 13 states that “any person or group of persons who violates the dignity or integrity of any country shall be punished with a suspension of at least ten matches.”
The legal adviser of the Iranian Football Federation, Safia Allah Faghanpour, explained in an interview on ESPN that “the measures taken regarding the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran are against the law and international morality.” this is what they want to influence Iran’s performance against the United States».
The meeting, marked by the political enmity of both countries and the demonstrations against the Iranian regime, will take place this Tuesday 29 at 8 p.m. and will be led by Spaniard Antonio Mateu Lahoz.
