Iran will compete in the World Cup, confirmed by Infantino. The FIFA president addressed the media in Antalya, Turkey, observing the Iranian national team’s initial friendly match following the recent conflict. “Iran will participate in the World Cup,” he stated, emphasizing the purpose of his presence.
“We are delighted by the team’s considerable strength and potential.”
Infantino affirmed that there would be no alterations to the tournament’s schedule. The matches will proceed as determined by the draw, maintaining the established calendar. This declaration effectively refuted speculation regarding relocating Iran’s games.
Previously, the notion of shifting Iran’s matches from the United States to Mexico had gained momentum, spurred by the Iranian Football Federation’s withdrawal. However, Infantino’s resolute statement unequivocally dismissed this possibility. The World Cup will unfold as planned, ensuring Iran’s inclusion in the prestigious event.
This confirmation solidifies Iran’s place in the global competition.
