Iran threatens to withdraw from the World Cup at the last minute.

The Iranian government has just threatened to withdraw its national team from the 2026 World Cup if any form of protest occurs in the stands.

The World Cup faces the risk of a team withdrawing midway through the tournament.

Iran's Sports Minister, Ahmad Donyamali, affirmed that the country is ready to withdraw from the 2026 World Cup if the matches are exploited for political purposes targeting the country's leadership. In a message to FIFA, Iran emphasized two firm conditions for maintaining its participation in the tournament.

Firstly, the team will leave the stadium immediately if they hear political slogans in the stands. Secondly, Iran only accepts the official flag. Displaying the ancient Persian flag (featuring a lion and the sun) would also cause the team to abandon the match immediately.
