World Cup 2026: Iran Moves Training Camp to Tijuana Amid Visa Concerns
Iran will now base its 2026 World Cup training camp in Tijuana, Mexico, instead of Tucson, Arizona. The change comes as officials worry some players and staff may not secure US visas in time. The team opens Group G in Los Angeles on June 15 against New Zealand and June 21 against Belgium, before meeting Egypt in Seattle on June 26. The vice-president of the Iranian Football Federation cited security concerns and visa uncertainty but expressed confidence in FIFA’s arrangements. Organisers at the original Tucson facility have not confirmed the switch, leaving final details pending from World Cup authorities.
