Palestine solidarity takes center stage throughout 2026 FIFA World Cup

Fans of nations competing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup --co-hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico -- have been showing support for Palestine in public squares before matches and in stadiums during matches.

Hawzah News Agency- Throughout the World Cup, fans are displaying Palestinian flags, demanding freedom for Palestine and opposing the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

Many countries participating in the World Cup have also supported the global demand from fans to "show Israel red card" due to the genocide.

Fans of Morocco, who drew 1-1 with Brazil in their opening Group C match, showed their support for Palestine in New York squares before the game and in the stands during the match.

During the match at the New York New Jersey Stadium, which is also set to host the final, Moroccan fans, who demonstrated their support for Palestine at every opportunity, carried a Palestinian flag in the stands behind the goal.

Before the match, they gathered in New York's Times Square, waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans such as "Free Palestine!"

Fans waved Palestinian flags during the match between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Switzerland in Los Angeles.

Bosnians, who endured genocide between 1991 and 1995, did not forget Palestine, a people sharing a similar fate.

Their fans also waved a banner that read: "Support for Palestine from Sarajevo''.
