Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives supporting the Department of State's efforts to prevent the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from embedding themselves within the Iranian National Football Delegation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup and to limit the delegation's presence in the United States to the minimum time necessary for scheduled match play.
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' support for the Department of State to prevent members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from infiltrating the Iranian National Football Delegation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It also urges the State Department to limit the delegation's time in the United States to only what is necessary for playing scheduled matches. As a non-binding measure of congressional sentiment, the bill does not create new laws or enforceable rules but instead signals official backing for existing security protocols. The text frames these actions as necessary national security steps given the IRGC's designation as a foreign terrorist organization and its history of using sports events for intelligence gathering.
