The June 26 FIFA World Cup match in Seattle was designated a Pride Match before the teams were determined. LGBT Rainbows, a ceremony, the whole works in the middle of Pride Month.

After the World Cup draw last week, the teams were determined.

Egypt vs. Iran

Both countries have strict anti-gay laws. The "throw them off buildings or stone them" kind.

Did FIFA make the designation or Seattle city council?

Seattle organizers.

From the article:

Seattle’s local organizing committee for World Cup 2026 has been preparing to stage a historic “Pride Match” at Lumen Field on June 26, the Friday of Pride Weekend. The themed fixture would be the first of its kind at a FIFA World Cup. The anniversary of the Stonewall riots is on June 28.

Isn't everything in Seattle labeled as "Pride?"

This might be the best story of the day. Good luck to FIFA in trying to explain Pride to these 2 countries.

Someone just needs to step up and say that gays are no longer welcome in the sport.

soccer will never grow in this country if you keep letting f*gs setup shop there like they own it
