Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says that her country would have no problem hosting Iran’s matches in the 2026 World Cup, if football’s governing body FIFA agrees.
Iran’s football federation has asked FIFA to move its World Cup matches to Mexico from the United States due to concerns about the safety of its players after the US launched joint air strikes on the country.
