Iran has formally requested FIFA to relocate World Cup matches scheduled to be held in the United States to Mexico instead. The demand comes as part of ongoing diplomatic tensions between Iran and the U.S. The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Iranian football officials have cited concerns about potential travel restrictions and security issues for their delegation and supporters. FIFA has not yet responded to Iran’s request, and the situation could impact the tournament’s logistics as the governing body seeks to maintain neutrality in geopolitical matters.
