Security personnel approached the fan, identified in some accounts as Rony, instructing him to remove or surrender the 'Israeli' flag. Reports indicate that officials cited facility orders and safety concerns amid the tense atmosphere of the match. The fan questioned the decision, pointing out nearby Palestinian flags held by Iranian supporters that were left undisturbed. Video trom the event shows the exchange, with the individual expressing frustration over the enforcement. Hebrew media circulated the video , calling it “anti-Semitic”and attacking the stadium personnel and FIFA for the incident. Palestinian flags were prominently displayed in the stands during the match, reflecting solidarity expressed by some Iranian fans. Neither FIFA nor stadium officials have issued a detailed public statement addressing the specific incident.
