Iran confirmed to play at World Cup according to FIFA chief Infantino

FIFA President Gianni Infantino stated that Iran will participate in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, despite the absence of its delegation at the FIFA Congress. Iran requested alternative venues for its matches due to tensions related to the US-Israel war, but FIFA rejected this request. Infantino emphasized the importance of unity and confirmed that Iranian players will be allowed to participate, although restrictions will be in place regarding individuals linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
