Iran has begun discussions with FIFA to hold its World Cup matches in Mexico rather than the United States. The confirmation came from Mehdi Taj, president of the Iran Football Federation, who said the decision followed concerns about the team’s safety on U.S. soil. He stated that former U.S. President Donald Trump himself admitted he could not guarantee the Iranian team’s security, prompting Iran to request that its matches be hosted in Mexico. FIFA has not yet issued any response to the proposal.
Asian Football Confederation (AFC) General Secretary Windsor Paul John said Iran remains a participant in the tournament and that the AFC is monitoring the situation. However, Iran’s Sports Minister Ahmad Donyamall declared that the government had decided not to send the team to the United States under current conditions. Trump had earlier warned that Iran’s players could face life and safety risks if they traveled to the U.S.
The 2026 World Cup is scheduled to be jointly hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, with Iran’s group-stage matches originally planned for Los Angeles and Seattle.
