JAKARTA - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that her country does not mind hosting Iran's national team matches in the 2026 World Cup tournament.
Al Jazeera reported, Tuesday, March 17, Sheinbaum said the scenario could be carried out if FIFA as the regulator of all aspects of the 2026 World Cup agreed to it.
Previously, the Iranian football federation asked FIFA to move the Iran national team's match at the 2026 World Cup from the United States (US) as the host to Mexico.
The request came as uncertainty arose over the safety of Iranian national team players amid the massive US-Israeli military offensive against Iran since February 28.
US President Donald Trump also openly threatened the Iranian national team if they competed in the 2026 World Cup hosted by the US.
"The Iranian national team is welcome to attend the World Cup. But I really don't believe that they deserve to be there, for their own lives and safety," Trump wrote on the Truth Social social media recently.
Before Trump issued the controversial statement, the Iranian national team was rumored to have withdrawn from the 2026 World Cup following the war raging in his country.
