Los Angeles (HRNW): A United States court has upheld a ruling banning the display of Iran’s former royal-era flag during FIFA World Cup matches.
According to the decision issued by a court in Los Angeles County, the ban on raising the flag associated with Iran’s former monarchy remains in effect in favor of FIFA’s regulations.
The court, while hearing a petition related to the matter, ruled that only the current official national flag of Iran will be permitted to be displayed inside stadiums during World Cup matches.
The decision supports FIFA’s stance that international sporting events must maintain uniformity and avoid political symbols or alternative state representations within stadium environments.
Officials emphasized that the ruling is intended to ensure compliance with event regulations and to prevent political controversy during global sporting competitions.
