Iran has reportedly asked FIFA to review the possibility of moving its matches in the men's football World Cup from the United States to Mexico. The country is qualified for the World Cup this summer and was set to play its three group stage matches in the US. According to reports, US President Donald Trump has said he believes it would be inappropriate for Iran to participate in the tournament due to the ongoing war.
The World Cup is also being held in Mexico and Canada. Iran's sports minister Ahmed Donjamali reportedly said he hopes conditions are created so that Iran can participate. In the group stage, Iran faces Belgium, New Zealand, and Egypt.
