Chempionat reports that the security guards at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Qatar's Al Rayyan took away from a fan the flag with the inscription "Woman. Freedom. Life" before the second round match of the 2022 World Cup against Wales.
The flag with the inscription became a symbol of the protest movement in Iran after the death of 22-year-old girl Mahsa Amini. The girl was detained by the morality police because of hijab problems, and later died in the police station, allegedly from the police violence. This sparked a surge of protests in Iran. A security guard at a stadium in Qatar took the flag from the fans and wouldn't explain the reasons for this action.
The Iranian team started the 2022 World Cup with a 2-6 defeat to England. After the first half of the match against Wales, the score was 0-0.
