Iran has not decided whether to participate in World Cup 2026
Iran has not finalized whether it will send a national team to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, leaving the status of its scheduled matches in the United States uncertain. Iran asked FIFA to relocate its U.S. matches to Mexico and FIFA denied that request, keeping the original match schedule intact. The United States signaled that Iranian players will be permitted to participate while Senator Marco Rubio publicly criticized Iran, and an Italian government minister called any proposal to replace Iran at the tournament "shameful." The decision matters because it will determine venue logistics, security arrangements, and whether FIFA must accommodate or replace a team amid heightened diplomatic tensions.
It’s the first World Cup where the pregame ritual is “have an emergency plan.”

bombaycrone.bsky.social2In my 82 years I have never been afraid for people who have traveled to this country. I say this in all honesty; anyone who travels to this country to try to participate or to view the World Cup is taking their lives in their hands. We are not safe on our own streets; Foreign Nationals are at risk.
