Iran's World Cup Games in US Confirmed

0:00FIFA President Gianni Infantino just confirmed Iran is locked in to play their 2026 World Cup matches in the United States, right on. Schedule, no changes. They're set to face New Zealand in Los Angeles on June 15th. Then Belgium, they're again on June 21st, and rap group play against Egypt in. Seattle, on June 26th? Uncertainty kicked in back in late February when the Iran War started, putting the teams traveling out, especially with the US as a co-host. Alongside Canada and Mexico from June 11th to July 19th. President Trump chimed in earlier, saying the team is welcome, but questioning if it's safe for them to show up, which sparked talks from Iran's side. About shifting those games to Mexico. Infantino shut that down quick, stressing FIFA rules rule the day, and Iran's football federation vice president backed it, ready to roll wherever the draw says, looks like the tournament stays on track. Full steam ahead. Stay informed with Dallas News today, AI-powered updates. I'm Cory with the story.
