Mexico says will host Iran during World Cup

MEXICO CITY: Mexico will allow Iran to be based in the country during the 2026 World Cup so its players can avoid US visa restrictions, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday (May 25). The Iranian national team, scheduled to play three first-stage matches in US stadiums, announced on Saturday that FIFA had endorsed its plan to stay overnight on the Mexican side of the border to avoid visa problems. Uncertainty has clouded the Iranian team's participation in the tournament ever since the US and Israel launched an offensive against the Islamic republic in late February. The team had originally planned to set up camp in Tucson, in the US state of Arizona. "The United States doesn't want the Iranian team to spend the night," Sheinbaum told reporters in her daily press conference.

Iran to base World Cup camp in Mexico after switch from Arizona

WASHINGTON: Iran will base their ‌squad in the Mexican border city of Tijuana during this year’s World Cup after soccer’s world governing body FIFA approved a request to move the training camp from Arizona, the head of Iran’s football federation said on Saturday. “We will be based in the Tijuana camp, which is near the Pacific Ocean and on the border between Mexico and the United States,” Iran’s soccer ‌federation President Mehdi ‌Taj said in a video ‌posted ⁠on its Telegram ⁠social media account. Taj added that the move would help avoid visa-related complications and that the squad would be able to travel directly to Mexico aboard Iran Air flights. FIFA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Iran will play ⁠their first two Group G matches in ‌Los Angeles, against New ‌Zealand on June 15 and Belgium on June 21, ‌before facing Egypt in Seattle on June ‌26. “The total distance between us and the venue of our games in Los Angeles is 55 minutes by flight,” Taj said, adding that Tijuana was closer ‌to their match venues than the team’s previously planned camp in Arizona. Iran has ⁠faced ⁠uncertainty for months over travel and security arrangements for the World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Iranian officials said this month that their players and staff had yet to receive US visas less than a month before the start of the tournament. Taj said FIFA had been asked for guarantees over visas, security and the treatment of the Iranian delegation. The World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19.
