2026 FIFA WC: May Peace, Respect, And Friendship Prevail Among All Nations, Says Iran After Belgium Draw
Los Angeles Stadium: Iran's football team used the FIFA World Cup 2026 stage to deliver a message of peace and unity after its goalless Group G draw against Belgium at Los Angeles Stadium, leaving a handwritten note in the dressing room that was later shared by the Football Federation of Iran (FFIRI).
The note came amid ongoing tensions between Iran and the United States, one of the tournament's co-hosts along with Canada and Mexico. Both nations are still negotiating to end their conflict.
"From the ancient Persia of thousands of years ago to the modern Iran of today, the spirit of Iran remains alive and strong," the message stated. "We came to Los Angeles with pride, played with honour, and left with dignity."
