LOS ANGELES SAYS NO TO FIFA, VICTORY TO IRAN On 21 June, Iran's national football team secured a goalless draw against a heavily favoured Belgian side in their second match of the 2026 World Cup. Were it not for a highly controversial offside call, they would have won outright with the only goal of the game. Team Melli's achievement was all the more remarkable for having endured a brutal war on their nation by the very country hosting all three of their group stage matches. Twice in a row, they and their fans have also had to brave a gauntlet of violent, racist, and ultra-Z*onist Iranian diaspora monarchists outside Los Angeles' SoFi stadium. In the lead-up to the Belgium game, local anti-war organisers were determined not to let the monarchists' reign of terror go unchallenged. On the morning of 21 June, activists from LA's progressive Iranian diaspora, NOlympics LA, and Black Alliance for Peace mobilised to the stadium entrance to deliver a resounding message: Ordinary Angelenos stand with Team Melli and the people of Iran, Palestine, and Lebanon against FIFA's sportswashing of US-Israeli imperialism and g*nocide. Sovereign Media's Los Angeles correspondent Charles Xu was on the ground to report.

🚨 Absolute madness in the US right now as the Uruguay national team gets pulled to the side of the road and treated like straight-up suspects. ​They literally just landed for the World Cup and security is already ripping their luggage open on the tarmac with sniffer dogs everywhere ​Qatar and Russia hosted without this level of paranoia but the "land of the free" is handing out pure humiliation to Global South athletes before a single match is even played, the double standards are screaming.
