FIFA World Cup-2022: As part of the FIFA World Cup, the Iranian team, which was defeated by America yesterday in the group stage of Group B, reached its home country last night. Usually, the team is given a warm welcome for participating in the World Cup. However, no one welcomed the Iranian team. About 10 fans came to the airport to watch the team.
Moreover, people celebrated in many parts of Iran after Iran’s defeat at the hands of America yesterday. Videos of people celebrating by shooting firecrackers and dancing when their own team loses are going viral on social media. People say that the Iranian team does not represent the people of the country and only represents the government.
It is known that there have been protests against the government in Iran for a few weeks. In this background, although the members of the Iranian football team expressed their support to the people, they did not get support from the people of their own country. During the first match between Iran and England in the FIFA World Cup, England sang their national anthem before the start of the game, but the Iranian team members did not sing their country’s national anthem.
Thus supporting the protests against the Iranian government and the hijab. However, the people of Iran say that their country’s team only represented the government and played in the FIFA World Cup, not on their behalf. Meanwhile, striker Sardar Azmoun spoke to the media on his arrival in Iran.
He said that he was not satisfied with the way he played in the match yesterday. This is the sixth time that Iran is participating in the World Cup. A few months ago, when the police arrested a young woman named Mahsa Amini for not wearing a hijab properly, she was seriously injured and died in police custody. Against this background, agitations against hijab are going on in that country.
Iran is a country where people are very passionate about football. Now they are out in the streets in the city of Sanandaj & celebrate the loss of their football team against US.
They don’t want the government to use sport to normalize its murderous regime.pic.twitter.com/EMh8mREsQn pic.twitter.com/MqpxQZqT20— Masih Alinejad (@AlinejadMasih) November 29, 2022
In many parts of Iran people came out to celebrate the defeat of the football team because they believe it represented the regime, not the people of Iran. And still, 27 years old #Mehran_Samak was killed by a bullet to his head by a security agent, for simply blowing his car horn
