Iran's Soccer Team to Commute from Mexico for World Cup Matches in U.S.
Iran's national soccer team will be based in Mexico and commute to the United States for their World Cup matches after the U.S. declined to host the team for the tournament. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that FIFA approached Mexico after U.S. authorities expressed concerns about Iran staying in the country during the competition. Iran is scheduled to play three Group G matches in the U.S., facing New Zealand, Belgium, and Egypt. The decision to base the team in Mexico aims to avoid visa-related issues and facilitate direct flights from Iran to Mexico.
