A group of Iranian athletes are calling for their country to be banned from playing in the Qatar World Cup.
The athletes, including former wrestling world champion Sardar Pashaei, wrote a letter to Fifa, asking for the Iranian football team to be kicked out of the tournament because of tensions back at home.
The group is standing up against what they say is Iran’s violence towards protesters, who are demonstrating against the regime following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.
