AI Summary

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives supporting the Department of State's efforts concerning the Iranian National Football Delegation during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be partly hosted by the United States. The House aims to prevent any member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from embedding within the delegation, citing the IRGC's designation as a foreign terrorist organization and its history of using diplomatic and athletic events for intelligence gathering and malign activities against the U.S. and its allies.

Furthermore, the resolution supports limiting the delegation's physical presence in the United States to the shortest period necessary for scheduled matches. These actions are deemed essential for national security, ensuring that IRGC operatives do not enter the country and that the delegation's stay is strictly confined to its athletic purpose.
