國際足協拒絕在世界盃賽事中禁止展示彩虹標誌的請求
FIFA Rejects Requests to Ban Pride Symbols at World Cup Match

國際足球總會（FIFA）已正式確認，彩虹旗與其他 LGBTQ+ 象徵符號將獲准在 2026 年世界盃（shìjièbēi）出現，駁回了埃及與伊朗足球協會要求禁止這些象徵的正式請求。
FIFA has officially confirmed that rainbow flags and other LGBTQ+ symbols will be permitted at the 2026 World Cup, rejecting formal requests from the Egyptian and Iranian football associations to ban them.
此爭議源於西雅圖舉行的一場比賽，該賽事恰逢該市的同志驕傲（Pride）週末。
The controversy emerged during a match in Seattle, which coincided with the city’s Pride weekend.
這兩個國家聲稱這些展示與其文化與宗教價值觀相抵觸；然而，FIFA 強調這些象徵受其《2026 年球場行為準則》保護，屬於人權表達的一種。
The two nations argued that these displays conflicted with their cultural and religious values; however, FIFA maintained that such symbols are protected under its 2026 Stadium Code of Conduct as expressions of human rights.
此決定標誌著與 2022 年卡達世界盃的顯著差異，當時 FIFA 因勸阻使用「OneLove」臂章等包容性象徵，並沒收彩虹物品而面臨強烈批評。
This decision marks a significant shift from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where FIFA faced intense criticism for discouraging the use of inclusive symbols like the 'OneLove' armbands and confiscating rainbow items.
儘管 FIFA 指出它並未正式將任何賽事指定為「驕傲賽」（Pride Match），且仍維持禁止冒犯性展示的規則，但現在已明確將 LGBTQ+ 象徵歸類為可獲准的。
While FIFA noted that it does not officially designate any fixture as a 'Pride Match' and maintains rules against offensive displays, it has now explicitly categorized LGBTQ+ symbols as permissible.
隨著賽事推進，焦點仍在於如何在世界舞台上，平衡言論自由與各國文化敏感度。
As the tournament progresses, the focus remains on balancing freedom of expression with the cultural sensitivities of different countries on the world stage.
