Iran has confirmed that it will participate in this summer's World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, but is requesting guarantees from FIFA and the tournament hosts. The Iranian Football Federation has asked for assurances that all players, coaches, and officials will receive visas to participate in the competition, including those who have served in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, considered a terrorist organization in Canada and the U.S. Iran is also requesting increased security measures for the team and respect for the national flag and anthem. The president of the Federation, Mehdi Taj, emphasized that all those who have completed military service should receive visas without issues. FIFA President Gianni Infantino reaffirmed that Iran will participate in the tournament, highlighting the importance of unity among people. These statements were made after the president of the Iranian Football Federation was denied entry into Canada to attend a congress related to the competition.
