CITTA’ DEL MESSICO (MEXICO) (ITALPRESS) – Gianni Infantino (“The President of the United States assured me that they are welcome”), Donald Trump (“The Iranian national is welcome to the World Cup but I really don’t think it is appropriate to take part in them, for their own life and safety”) and in the midst of the statements of the Minister of the Iranian Sports, Ahmad Donjamali: “Since this corrupt government has murdered our leader, there would be no conditions to participate in the World Cup under any circumstances.” In short, among bombs and missiles that explode in the Middle East and terrorize the world, about the participation of Iran to the World Cup there are many hypotheses and even more doubts.
The Iranian Football Federation, the Ffiri, however, has not officially given up the dream of being there. The new idea would be to play the national matches, which were included in the G Group of the tournament together with Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand, Mexico and not the United States. To make it known the Iranian embassy in Mexico.
“Considering the lack of collaboration by the US government in visa release and providing logistical support to the Iranian national football team in preparation for the World Cup of 2026, Abolfazl Psedniddeh (Iranian ambassador to Mexico) suggested that Fifa move Iran’s matches to the tournament from the United States to Mexico,” says the Iran Embassy site in Mexico. “We believe that the United States is not cooperating with us on the visa issue. We are interested in participating in the World Cup, but the US government is not providing the necessary logistical and administrative support,” Psedniddeh said, as reported on the embassy’s website. “The Fifa can intervene so that the Iranian national can participate in the World Cup, playing in Mexico. The final decision will turn to the Ministry of Sports and Youth of Iran – added Psedniddeh -. We love the Mexican people very much and for us the best option is that our matches are taking place in Mexico.”.
Federal President, Mehdi Taj, confirms: “Since the president of the United States, Donald Trump, has explicitly stated that he cannot guarantee the security of the Iranian national, we will not go to the US. We are currently negotiating with Fifa to keep Iran’s matches in Mexico.”.
