Egypt wants World Cup ‘Pride Match’ plans cancelled
Egypt has requested the cancellation of plans for a “Pride Match” during the World Cup, as reported by sources close to the Egyptian Football Association. The proposed event is aimed at promoting LGBTQ rights in Russia, where the World Cup is set to take place. The Egyptian FA has communicated its concerns to FIFA, emphasizing that such a match could spark controversy and go against the cultural and social norms in Egypt.
FIFA has not yet issued a formal response to Egypt’s request, but the organization has previously stated its commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity within the world of football. The proposed “Pride Match” is part of FIFA’s initiatives to address discrimination and ensure a welcoming environment for all individuals regardless of their sexual orientation.
The LGBTQ community in Egypt has expressed disappointment at the request, viewing it as a setback for their fight for acceptance and equal rights. On the other hand, supporters of the Egyptian FA’s position argue that the focus should remain on football during the World Cup, avoiding potential controversies that could overshadow the tournament.
The decision on whether the “Pride Match” plans will be cancelled ultimately lies with FIFA, which will need to weigh the concerns raised by Egypt against its commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity in football.
