Several Iranian players and soccer personalities have demanded that the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) suspend Iran's national team from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Iran International English wrote about it on a social networking site.
The statement attributes the reason for this reaction to the cruelty of the state to its citizens. Earlier, in Iran, public unrest arose after the death of a 22-year-old girl who was arrested for "improper wearing of the hijab".
I can no longer be silent. If I am kicked out of the national team, this sacrifice is not worth even a hair from the head of an Iranian woman. Shame on the heads of those who kill people so easily. Eternal love to the women of Iran.
