Mexico agrees to host Iran at World Cup instead of US

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has agreed to host the Iranian men's national football team as their base during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, after the U.S. declined to host the squad due to security concerns tied to ongoing Middle East conflict. FIFA has confirmed Iranian players will receive U.S. visas for their scheduled matches in the U.S., though individuals linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps may face entry restrictions.
