The Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran, as reported by the Iranian news agency IRNA, lodged a complaint with FIFA’s ethics committee.Additionally, the state media sought to exclude the United States from the World Cup.

The state-owned news agency reported on Sunday that “the Instagram page of the US football federation removed the Allah symbol from the Iranian flag in an unprofessional act.”
