Iran national anthem heavily booed again before World Cup Pride match clash against Egypt in Seattle

The Iranian national anthem was greeted with loud boos ahead of the team’s Pride match against Egypt on Friday night. 

Iran faced Mohamed Salah and co. in Seattle in the hope of reaching the knockout stages of the World Cup in a Group G clash that coincidentally fell on the scheduled date for FIFA’s Pride match. 

As it had been before Iran’s opening two games of the World Cup, the team’s national anthem was booed by the crowd inside Lumen Field.
