Donald Trump: ‘If Infantino Says So, I Don’t Mind Iran Playing in the World Cup’

US President Donald Trump confirmed that he has no objection to Iran's participation in the 2026 World Cup, which is co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. He expressed support for the Iranian team, stating he is not worried about their participation, in response to FIFA President Gianni Infantino's comments. These statements come after a period of diplomatic uncertainty, where Trump had previously suggested that Iran's attendance might be 'inappropriate' for safety reasons.
