"If [our request to FIFA] is accepted, Iran's participation in the World Cup will be certain, Donyamali told Turkiye's Anadolu news agency."
"When Trump has explicitly stated that he cannot ensure the security of the Iranian national team, we will certainly not travel to America."
"We are currently negotiating with FIFA to hold Iran's matches in the World Cup in Mexico, Taj said."
"FIFA rejected Iran's request by saying all World Cup matches will take place per the schedule announced last year."
Iran's sports minister stated that the country's participation in the upcoming World Cup hinges on FIFA's decision to relocate its matches from the United States to Mexico. The Iranian Football Federation has formally requested this change amid escalating tensions in the region following US-Israeli military actions against Iran. FIFA has yet to respond to this request, and the Iranian football chief emphasized that safety concerns prevent the team from traveling to the US for their scheduled matches.
