MEXICO CITY — President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Monday that Mexico is willing to host Iran's team during the FIFA World Cup 2026 and that they will travel to the United States for the three matches scheduled there. Sheinbaum stated during her morning conference that in Mexico, "we have no problem" with the Iranian national team staying in Mexican territory after the United States objected to them maintaining their camp in that country. Iran was initially set to train in Tucson, Arizona, but relocating to Mexico has been considered due to uncertainty stemming from the war in the Middle East and security concerns. The Iranian team will play its Group G matches in Inglewood, California, against New Zealand on June 15 and Belgium six days later, before facing Egypt on June 26 in Seattle.
