A protestor briefly interrupted a match between Portugal and Uruguay when he ran across the field with a rainbow flag at the World Cup.
"We may have our bands taken away from us, but we'll never let our voices be taken from us," German captain Manuel Neuer said at the time.
Political pressure has also been directed toward Iran, which has seen months of protests following the September death of Mahsa Amini, who had been taken into custody by the country's morality police for allegedly wearing her hijab too loosely. Ahead of the final group stage match between the two countries, the United States Soccer Federation tweeted an image of Iran's flag
The tweet has since been deleted, but the federation said it was meant as a sign of support for the ongoing protests in Iran.
