Mexico’s Sheinbaum confirms U.S. asked Iran’s World Cup team to move to Tijuana
Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed that the U.S. requested Iran's World Cup team to use Tijuana, Mexico, as its base camp instead of the United States. This decision was made due to U.S. reluctance to host the Iranian team overnight amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions. FIFA has formally approved the move, and Iran's team will play its matches in the U.S. while training in Mexico. AI
