Football Federation of Iran (FFIRI) released a handwritten note calling for global unity and peace to serve as a powerful reflection on national identity while expressing deep gratitude to the host city and their passionate fanbase.
“From the ancient Persia of thousands of years ago to the civilised Iran of today, the spirit of Iran remains alive and steadfast,” the note read.
“We came to Los Angeles with pride, competed with honour, 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. May peace, respect and friendship prevail among all nations.”
Beyond the message of harmony, the letter also paid tribute to human tragedy.
The letter subtly honored the victims of an attack on a girls’ school in Minab, where at least 168 people lost their lives on the very first day of the war.
