Iran has opened discussions with FIFA over the possibility of playing its World Cup matches outside the United States. This follows concerns about safety after comments made by Donald Trump regarding the team’s security.
Iran’s football authorities are reportedly considering Mexico as an alternative venue. However, with the tournament approaching quickly, it is unclear if FIFA will agree to any changes to the already planned fixtures.
The situation has become more tense due to ongoing conflict involving Iran, the United States, and Israel. Iranian officials have expressed concerns over safety and have even suggested the team may not participate under the current conditions.
Despite the uncertainty, Iran is still scheduled to face teams like New Zealand, Belgium, and Egypt. The final decision will depend on ongoing talks and how the situation develops in the coming weeks.
