The 2026 World Cup introduced a new fan-focused ceremony where competing nations' flags are laid across the field in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Saudi Arabia's flag bears the Shahada, declaring faith in Allah and Muhammad, while Iraq's features 'Allahu Akbar' in Kufic script—both revered in Muslim tradition and kept off the ground. This adjustment started in Saudi Arabia's opener against Uruguay on June 15 in Miami Gardens and Iraq's match against France, with opponents' flags also elevated for balance. A FIFA spokesperson noted close work with teams to meet such requests amid the 48-team tournament.

The 24-year-old Dutch-Ghanaian striker, born in Amsterdam to Ghanaian parents with an Akan name like Brian Ebenezer Adjei Brobbey, listed Dutch, English, and 'Ghanaian' in a resurfaced Sunderland interview.
