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 House resolution expresses congressional support for the Department of State to take measures preventing members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which the U.S. designates as a foreign terrorist organization, from entering the country as part of Iran's national football team during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, portions of which will be hosted in the United States. The resolution reflects concerns that the IRGC has historically used international sporting and diplomatic events as cover to infiltrate countries and conduct intelligence operations against the United States and its allies. The measure calls on the State Department to limit the Iranian National Football Delegation's time in the United States to only what is necessary for their scheduled World Cup matches. This is a non-binding resolution expressing the House's position rather than legislation that creates new law or funding, and it does not establish specific timelines or allocate resources.
