Iran Football Federation Discusses Moving World Cup Matches To Mexico
Mehdi Haj, president of the Iranian Football Federation, has expressed opposition to hosting World Cup group stage matches in the United States. One primary concern involves the difficulty of obtaining US visas for players and staff. The federation is reportedly planning a training camp in Turkey to facilitate visa application processes. The current status of the team's ability to play remains uncertain pending visa approvals. Iran's Minister of Youth and Sports stated that the country's participation in this year's World Cup remains uncertain. The minister's comments suggest the nation's involvement is currently in question. FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed Iran will participate despite government attempts to have Italy replace them. US President Donald Trump stated Iranian athletes may participate if they lack ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
