"Iran will participate in the 2026 World Cup and will play its matches in the United States. The reason is very simple: we must unite and maintain communication between people. FIFA unites the world. We must always remember to maintain a positive attitude," Infantino was quoted as saying by Mundo Deportivo.
In the group stage of the World Cup, the Iranian national team will play two matches in Los Angeles, with another match scheduled to take place in Seattle, reported by championat.com.
