Saudi Arabian football team that was planned a match with Iranian Sepahan of Isphahan, refused to enter the stadium because of the statue of #IRGC general Qaaemil #Soleimani would not be removed.
The official Twitter/X account of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia claims that the #FIFA rules give them the right and they will not accept the ruling by the referee to give the match 0-3 for Sepahan.
This was the second match between a Saudi and an Iranian football team played in the host countries rather than the 3rd country as they has been playing in the past decade.
