US declines Iran team lodging
Mexico announced that it will host the Iranian national team during the 2026 World Cup, as part of a logistical measure to avoid visa issues Iran has faced due to tensions with the United States. Iran will play its matches in the United States, while its team will stay and reside in Mexican territory, according to a unique agreement after the United States refused to allow the team to stay on its soil. Iran has received assurances from FIFA that the necessary visas will be provided, and its accommodation will be relocated to Tijuana to facilitate direct travel from Iran. Iran's matches will be part of Group Seven, which also includes New Zealand, Belgium, and Egypt.
