The FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, stated that Iran will participate in the World Cup, which will start on June 11, emphasizing that the Team Melli must come to represent the Iranian people. The statements were made during a conference organized by CNBC in Washington, in the context of tensions in the Middle East. Infantino visited the Iranian national team during a training camp in Turkey and attended a friendly match.

Although Iran has mentioned a possible boycott of the competition due to the conflict, FIFA has refused the request to move the matches to Mexico. Iran will play in Group G, with matches scheduled in the United States, and its base will be in Tucson, Arizona. Infantino reaffirmed the importance of sports outside of politics and expressed hope that the tournament will be a success in terms of security and the quality of the matches.
