'We welcome you' - Wahl on World Cup pride match
A member of the advisory committee for the controversial 2026 World Cup Pride Match has said he hopes Fifa "does the right thing" by allowing planned celebrations to continue, after they called on visitors to "respect the culture" in Qatar four years ago.
Local organisers in Seattle have designated the World Cup match between Egypt and Iran at Lumen Field on 26 June as the centre of celebrations of the LGBTQ+ community.
The plans were made before the teams for the fixture were decided.
The Egyptian FA has publicly called for the celebrations to be cancelled and for Fifa - which has no official involvement in the plans - to intervene.
