Iran team left a note in World Cup dressing room
After their 0-0 draw against Belgium on Sunday, the Iranian team left for the airport to return to Mexico. Before departing, they left a note in the dressing room.
“From the ancient Persia of thousands of years ago to the civilized Iran of today, the spirit of Iran remains alive and steadfast,” the note read, which was shared on social media by the Football Federation of Iran and forward Ramin Rezaeian.
“We came to Los Angeles with pride, competed with honor, and leave with dignity. Thank you, Los Angeles, for your hospitality. And thank you to every Iranian who gave their heart, voice, and soul for Iran throughout these 180 minutes,” it continued. “May peace, respect, and friendship prevail among all nations.”
The Iranian team will play its third World Cup game against Egypt in Seattle on Saturday.
