World Cup Impact on Iran and Iraq
The restrictions imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Iranian and Iraqi teams turned the 2026 World Cup into a battleground of political tension. Iran was forced to change its camp to Mexico, while the Iraqi team faced issues entering U.S. territory, including the detention of star player Aymen Hussein for seven hours on false charges. Additionally, a ban was imposed on journalists and fans from Iran and Middle Eastern countries, amid silence from FIFA, raising accusations of discrimination and politicization in the global sporting event.
