Iran He tied 2-2 with his pair of Uzbekistanas a local condition, within the framework of date 8 of the Asian qualifiers For him World United States, Mexico and Canada 2026 And it was classified for the ecumenical quotation, but the conflictive diplomatic relationship between Islamic and Americans would endanger the participation of Asia’s participation.
Already with Japan and New Zealand Classified by the Qualifiers System, the Islamic team sealed its passage to North America for next year by drawing 2-2 with its pair of Uzbekistan in the Azadi Stadium in Tehran.
In the absence of two dates, the Ardeshir Ghalenoei team matched with its escort and, added to Qatar’s defeat with Kyrguistan, qualified for the 2026 World Cup since it takes 10 points to those Qatari in the absence of two dates for the end.
So, They will play their seventh World Cup in Historybut a controversy is coming to the bordering country with Iraq since one of the nations that will house the intercontinental event will be The United States, a country that has serious restrictions on Asians due to different problems they drag makes an Islamic revolution which ended the monarchy and established a theocratic state in Iran and the taking of the United States embassy in Tehran at the hands of Iranian students, who held 66 American diplomats and civilians for 444 days hostage.
The new United States government headed by Donald Trump He developed a list of 43 countries to which they will prohibit the entry of their citizens into the American country. Iran is on that list marked in red next to Afghanistan, Bután, Cuba, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.
Currently, there are no formal diplomatic ties between the two countries and there is constantly the flirting of both parts of attacking the other. Iran’s interests in the United States are defended by Pakistan while the interests of the United States in Iran are represented by Switzerland.
Knowing the hardness of the president of the United States in their measures, the discussion about the participation or not of Iran can last a long time and it will be difficult for the president to give the arm to twist.
This regulation prevents trips between both countries and the entry of citizens of these nations to US land. Therefore, the solution could be that Iran plays the group stage in Mexico and Canada but the problem would appear again if the Asians manage to qualify for the round of 16 and must play a key in the United States.
As for what FIFA can decide, there was a similar situation in 2023 when Indonesia refused to allow Israel to play the U20 World Cup that was going to house and the mother football entity chose to celebrate it in Argentina.
