2026年6月26日，於西雅圖流明球場（Lumen Field）舉行的2026年FIFA世界盃埃及對戰伊朗的比賽，不僅是一場足球賽，更是一個國際緊張局勢的爆發點。
Both nations formally protested the local organizers' decision to promote Pride-related activities, citing deep-seated cultural and religious values.
兩國均正式抗議當地主辦方推廣與「驕傲週」相關活動的決定，理由是這與其根深蒂固的文化與宗教價值觀相左。
FIFA attempted to strike a balance, affirming its commitment to inclusivity while noting that the Pride event was local rather than an official FIFA mandate, ultimately allowing symbols like rainbow flags under their stadium code of conduct.
FIFA試圖取得平衡，在肯定其對包容性承諾的同時，指出「驕傲週」活動屬於當地性質而非FIFA的官方授權，最終在球場行為準則下允許彩虹旗等符號存在。
The geopolitical climate added another layer of complexity, notably regarding Iran's team travel and a strict FIFA ban on their pre-revolutionary flag.
地緣政治氣候增添了另一層複雜性，特別是關於伊朗隊的旅行以及FIFA嚴格禁止其使用前革命旗幟的規定。
