Iranian fans gathered at a Persian restaurant in Brooklyn, New York, to support Team Melli during their 2026 FIFA World Cup opener against New Zealand. Despite ongoing tensions surrounding the US-Iran relationship and a proposed peace agreement, supporters put politics aside to cheer for the national team. The match ended in a dramatic 2-2 draw, sparking celebrations among members of the Iranian diaspora.

Fans spoke about their pride in the players, many of whom have overcome significant challenges to reach football’s biggest stage. The atmosphere turned political at times, with some supporters criticizing FIFA and the treatment of the Iranian team ahead of the tournament.
