I don’t think teams should modify flags or other features of identity, especially not to make a political statement.

It seems like an odd thing to do here. Despite that I agree with the sentiment, oppose theocracy in Iran, and support the people risking their lives to affect peaceful change.

I feel like it’s a slippery slope where every team is applying an AR layer for whatever they want to support- changing flags, putting horns on players, changing names, obscuring female skin, etc

I think a much stronger message could have been made if teams turned out wearing hijabs before the match, taken them off on the field and set fire to them. Probably would have upset the sponsors though.
