FIFA President Gianni Infantino has confirmed that Iran will participate in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to be held across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Speaking to a Mexican television channel, Infantino dismissed speculation about moving Iran’s matches, stating that there is only one plan—Plan A—and that Iran will play. He emphasized that FIFA wants Iran to compete under the best possible conditions, representing both domestic and expatriate Iranians.
Infantino reiterated that FIFA cannot resolve political disputes but believes in football’s power to promote peace and unity among nations. He also noted that Iran earned its place in the tournament through sporting merit, while acknowledging the current political situation as “very complex.”
According to the schedule, Iran is set to face New Zealand and Belgium in Los Angeles and Egypt in Seattle, with its base camp in Tucson, Arizona. However, Iranian Football Federation President Mehdi Taj said the team will not travel to the United States due to security concerns, citing statements from Donald Trump. Iran is currently preparing in Turkey ahead of the tournament.
