Iran: No US talks, ask FIFA about World Cup
The head of the Iranian Football Federation, Mehdi Taj, confirmed that Iran has had no contact with U.S. authorities regarding the country's participation in the 2026 World Cup, which is being hosted by the United States. He stated that negotiations have only taken place with FIFA. The national team’s camp has been moved to Tijuana, Mexico, to reduce their presence on American soil, as Iran’s preparations face some uncertainty due to political tensions. Iran is awaiting their first match against New Zealand on June 16, in their group stage of the tournament, which will feature 48 teams for the first time.
