Dozens of Iran supporters at the World Cup defied FIFA’s ban by displaying the pre-revolutionary Iranian flag inside SoFi Stadium — giving the soccer org’s ruling a big middle finger. Ahead of Iran’s World Cup opener against New Zealand on Monday, hundreds of demonstrators rallied outside the stadium to protest the Iranian regime. Inside SoFi Stadium, the pre-revolutionary Iranian flag was visible throughout the crowd, with fans displaying it on flags and T-shirts alike.
