Iran gears up for match amid LA tensions

Iran begins its journey in the 2026 World Cup with a match against New Zealand in Los Angeles, amid tense atmosphere due to the US-Iranian conflict and the ban preventing 15 members of the Iranian football federation from obtaining travel visas. The game presents an opportunity for Iran to achieve a milestone for the first time since their previous appearances, while New Zealand aims to secure their first victory in the tournament's history, following their return to the finals for the first time since 2010. This matchup marks the first-ever encounter between the two teams at the World Cup, and Iran relies on its track record of progressing from the group stage in previous editions.
