FIFA allows rainbow flags at Egypt v Iran Pride Match in Seattle
FIFA will allow Pride rainbow flags at the Egypt-Iran World Cup game in Seattle: “The FIFA World Cup 2026 is an inclusive event that welcomes people from all backgrounds. Fans of all sexual orientations and gender identities are welcome at matches and events.”

Rachel W 🏳️🌈✌🏼61"Will allow"? Please. Seattlites are gonna let them rainbow flags fly regardless. Permission not needed.
Stagger McTipsy, AKA Captain Awesome Motherfucker49They can't do shit about it, so might as well pretend to "allow" it in order to seem as if they ever had control at all in the first place.
T Antony 🏳🌈26Tell the Sky Daddy folks it's time to grow up and man up.
bronstein-nematode.bsky.social20FIFA will allow? Who died an made those a-holes the arbiters of what fans in Seattle can or cannot do. They only announced their stance after realizing there isn't a damn thing they can do to stop Pride flag waving, short of cancelling the game altogether.
Jaytg 🦋18How nice of them 🙄 Like we need permission …
kenofseattle1419Hate to say it, but I told you they can't stop us from waving Pride flags in Seattle during the match. Seattle is Seattle and that's that.
itsonlyzach31FIFA said it’s the Gay of Hormuz now, bitch.
benji (moon’s dad)8the phrasing of "fans of all sexual orientations" is taking me out
Acid Rain7In the year of our good lord how is trump the president, why are people still getting their silken lace knickers in a bunch over someone else's lifestyle when it is not directly detrimental to them?
Dottie Doggo — Prehistoric Poodle Girl6No credit to FIFA, none whatsoever. But it honestly kind of surprises me they’re allowing it. Maybe their hatred of Egypt or Iran is stronger than their hatred of queer people? Is that what’s going on here?

🇲🇽🇯🇵🇨🇼🇨🇻5Oh I'm shocked. Dare I say it, I can't believe FIFA did a decent thing?!?! Uh happy pride!?!? I'd say Seattle be gay af, but I don't think y'all need to be asked to do so 🤭 #happypride #worldcup
VikingIrishGoddess4Hahaha Seattle said, come and play bois. Or go home.
Nick Clawson3lol they realized it would have been a lost cause
Volk’s Beard2#seattle y’all need to make this the GAYEST match ever. Trust in Lazlo, he knows what’s hot. #fifa #pride #vampires
Too bad for Iran and Egypt if they don't like our World Cup Pride celebration in Seattle. Eradicating the LGBTQ+ community there because of their demand for respect of their cultural and religious beliefs, means they must respect ours when they're here. 🌈
jubileejulieb12🙋♀️ Just a quick reminder: the request came from their governments/government controlled entities, NOT from the players who have been fabulous guests despite our poor hosting of them due to a war none of us wanted. Please don't hold the team accountable for their government's behavior? Thanks so much.
Eric V6The vast majority of Egyptian and Iranians will be too Busy cheering for their teams to be bothered by this manufactured crisis.
Colleen5I’m surprised they didn’t ask that women not be permitted in the stadium and that they must all where headgear when they around the teams.
donjohnsonyeh.bsky.social4I would be more worried about Americans
💙Patrice for Democracy 💙💚🦋🏖️🌞♓️♻️ 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🌈🐶🐱🐴🐾✝️🫶🏻☮️🥳🍷🎭4They are not in their countries so for them to to dictate what they want or don’t want during the game is not for them to say. This is still my America.
Kylie Middleton3It won’t be long before they are perfectly at home in the U.S.
