Iran’s football federation said on Saturday that the men’s national team will participate in the 2026 World Cup, but demanded that joint hosts of the United States, Mexico and Canada meet its conditions amid the intensified tensions in the Middle East.
"We will definitely participate in the 2026 World Cup, but the hosts must take our concerns into account,” the Iranian Federation said on its official website.
Previously, Mehdi Taj, president of the Iran Football Federation, said that to ensure the Iranian team is properly treated during the tournament, Iran has 10 demands, including the smooth visa issuance and entry for Iranian team personnel, respect for Iranian team personnel, the Iranian flag, and the national anthem during the tournament, and high-level security protection for Iranian team personnel.
Iran has been drawn in Group G for the World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada from June 11 to July 19.
The team is scheduled to open its campaign against New Zealand in Los Angeles on June 15, followed by a match against Belgium at the same venue on June 21. Its final group match is set for June 26 against Egypt in Seattle.
