Iran states plainly: we boycott the United States and FIFA, but we are preparing. Tensions between Iran and the United States continue to reflect in football, particularly ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. A clear message has come from Iran: opposition is directed at the United States, but not the World Cup itself.
From Tehran it is emphasized that the national team has no intention of withdrawing from the tournament and continues its preparations normally. According to “Tuttomercatoweb,” as reported by “Gazeta Express,” this resolute stance is being conveyed. The message is very clear: “We boycott the United States, not the World Cup.
We are preparing.”
This declaration comes at a time of strong political tensions between the two countries, which could also affect the sporting aspect. The situation underscores the ongoing difficulties in international relations. Iran’s position is unambiguous, prioritizing its dispute with the United States while maintaining its participation in the global football competition.
The focus remains firmly on the 2026 tournament, despite the underlying political issues. Iran’s commitment to competing demonstrates a strategic approach, aiming to address the US boycott without sacrificing its place on the world stage.
