Law

Unlikely to pass

This is a non-binding resolution that expresses an opinion rather than creating a new law. These types of bills often stay in committee without a full vote.

Key Points

This resolution says the House of Representatives supports the State Department in placing strict limits on the Iranian national soccer team during the 2026 World Cup.
It aims to prevent members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from entering the United States by pretending to be part of the soccer team or its staff.
The resolution also supports limiting the team's visit to the shortest time possible. This means they would only be in the country for their actual matches.
The goal is to protect national security because the U.S. government labels that specific Iranian military group as a terrorist organization.
