FIFA officials are refusing to back down on their first "Pride Match" for the World Cup despite objections from Iran and Egypt, Islamic nations where homosexuality is illegal. 
The two countries are scheduled to compete in the match at Seattle Stadium on Friday, which will also include soccer- and rainbow-themed events with the LGBTQ+ community. 
"Whether that is Iran, Egypt, Qatar, Bosnia ... or, frankly, the United States of America, we can all do better when it comes to inclusion" FIFA says that fans will be allowed to bring in Pride flags to the stadium, as well as other flags advocating sexual orientation and gender identity. 
The Iranian regime considers homosexuality a crime punishable up to death, while Egypt outlaws homosexual activities under laws banning "indecency." 
In December both Iran and Egypt objected to participating in the LGBTQ+ match, but neither pulled out of the contest. 
"Hard no to these violent, repressive regimes," he added. 
"And huge gratitude & respect to the LGBTQ Egyptians & Iranians — in these countries & in diaspora — who fight so hard, putting their lives at risk, to shed light on & to end this violent repression." 
"If Iran and Egypt don't want to see Pride flags at their match in Seattle, that's just too damn bad," responded transgender activist Charlotte Clymer on social media. 
"LGBTQ folks were intentionally erased in Qatar in 2022 due to 'respect for local culture.' 
Seattle supports LGBTQ people. 
Respect the local culture."
