The event - which is organised solely by the local committee and is not affiliated with Fifa - will take place on the Friday of Seattle's official Pride weekend, with artists in Washington state invited to submit designs of artwork, external celebrating LGBTQ+ people for display around the game and city.


Iran and Egypt should boycott the game.

And evey player will defect from their teams and ask for asylum out of fear of their lives if they return to their home?

The head of Iran’s Football Federation, Mehdi Taj, was quoted by local news agency ISNA as saying Tehran and Cairo had both raised “objections against the issue”, which he labelled an “irrational move that supports a certain group”.
