Iranian Federation Has Told Us They Are Going To The World Cup: AFC
AFC General Secretary Windsor John: The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has confirmed that it has not received any formal communication from Iran regarding a potential withdrawal of its national football team from the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Iran have already secured qualification for the expanded 48-team tournament, which will take place across the United States, Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19. The team is currently scheduled to play two of its group-stage matches in Los Angeles and one in Seattle.
Speculation about Iran’s participation emerged after the country’s sports minister said the team could not take part in the tournament following US airstrikes carried out alongside Israel on Tehran, which reportedly resulted in the death of the Islamic Republic’s supreme leader.
