Mexico open to hosting Iran’s World Cup matches amid safety concerns
Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexico, announced that Mexico is willing to host Iran’s matches in the 2026 FIFA World Cup if the governing body agrees.
The request comes after the Iranian Football Federation asked FIFA to relocate their games from the United States due to concerns about player safety following recent U.S. joint air strikes in Iran. President Sheinbaum emphasized that Mexico would have no issues accommodating the matches and is ready to provide a secure environment for the Iranian team.
This announcement highlights Mexico’s commitment to supporting international sporting events and ensuring the safety of all participating teams amid geopolitical tensions. FIFA will now review the request and make a decision regarding the potential relocation of Iran’s matches.
