FIFA World Cup: Iran sets new conditions for playing matches in the United States

 

Iran has set a new condition for playing matches in the United States in the 2026 FIFA World Cup

According to the International News Agency, Iran has warned that if controversial flags are waved or slogans against the Iranian team are raised in the Football World Cup, the match will be stopped.

Iranian Sports Minister Ahmad Doniya Mali says that we have informed FIFA about this.

He said that we have been assured that no disruptive incident will occur in the stadium during the match against Egypt.

It should be noted that during the FIFA Congress in Vancouver in April, protesters demanded a ban on Iran from the tournament.

 

The protesters said that this team represents the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps rather than the Iranian people.

The Iranian team has also faced other challenges, including the withdrawal of tickets reserved for Iranian fans a few days ago.

The Iranian team is currently training in Tijuana, Mexico and will be able to enter the United States before their match and will have to return to Mexico after playing the match.

Iran, who are in Group G, will begin their campaign against New Zealand on June 15 in Los Angeles.

They will then face Belgium at the same venue and Egypt in Seattle on June 26.
