Iran moves World Cup camp abroad

The Iranian national football team has relocated its training camp for the 2026 World Cup from Arizona to the border city of Tijuana in Mexico, following a preliminary approval from FIFA. This move addresses concerns related to the war in the Middle East and visa procedures. The decision comes after meetings with FIFA to enable the team to overcome travel and visa issues. The team’s departure will coincide with its opening match against New Zealand in California, part of the Group G fixtures. This marks the team's fourth consecutive participation and seventh overall in the World Cup, although they have yet to advance beyond the first round.
