World Cup: Iranian fans boo during their national anthem before England-Iran match

Iranian fans booed during their own national anthem before Iran’s World Cup match against England.

Iran’s football team also refused to sing the national anthem ahead of the game, in solidarity with Iran’s anti-government protests.

As they should! A newer, equal, free, happier Iran is underway!

So why they come to cheer their national team????

The bravery from all of these people is incredible. I fully support the Iranians in their fight for freedom. Love from New York City ❤️♥️🇮🇷

Down the Islamic Regime, bring back the old Persia

Even if there is a problem in their country, disrespecting their country's national anthem Is disrespecting themselves. I think it is one of the shameful activities one would ever do to his county.

After 200 Years Of Colonialism England Can Sing 'God Save King' But Iran! Shameful Act.

I’m confused, why are they booing if it’s their national anthem?

[wowso]

They shouldn't boo their national anthem what is wrong with these people? The west as truly got into their heads.

Iranians(Persian) weren't Muslims from the beginning and our religion was Zoroastrianism
1400 years ago, the Arabs attacked Iran and converted us to Islam by force of the sword. Now, after 14 centuries, we want to continue the path of our ancestors.

[PKL]

Bring back Persia, bring back freedom, bring back women!

Mind Begs the Question:
Wearing Mask - prevention
Wearing Hijab - oppression?

Didn't expect a nation to boo on their national anthem, what's happened to you Iranians?

[Mack]

A country of people so respectful of their national identity... I think Firdausi's Iran doesn't exist anymore. Such a shame.

[ahmadalahmad]

The Islamic Republic of Iran is always victorious😍

[starharper]

why are they booing to theyr own country anthem

[ghazalpoorali]

We don’t hate our country. We love our country. Our country is Iran. Not the Islamic Republic of Iran, and this anthem is the anthem of the Islamic Republic, not Iran 💚🤍❤️

Ridiculous!! Sports in one thing and government is another !!

[saammana]

Why go as an Iranian then you don't support Iran??? What a paradox of attitude!! Iran is where you were born, raised, live, eat, work, have family but instead you are mocking it for the whole world to see and hear!!! Shame on you ALL Iranians for degrading your country!!! You should be proud because you cannot judge the whole existence of it on several bad incidents. If you don't like the Government then work hard in your Education and get yourself into Politics then from there you can change your country's policies!!
