L'Iran n'exclut pas de participer à la Coupe du monde 2026 malgré les tensions avec les États-Unis

L'équipe nationale de football iranienne reste intéressée par une participation à la Coupe du monde 2026, malgré les déclarations de son ministre des Sports remettant en cause la participation en raison des conflits avec les États-Unis. L'ambassadeur iranien au Mexique a clarifié que la décision n'est pas définitive et a suggéré de jouer leurs matchs au Mexique. Donald Trump a recommandé qu'ils ne participent pas pour leur sécurité, tout en réitérant qu'ils sont les bienvenus.

La Coupe du monde FIFA 2026, prévue au Mexique, au Canada et aux États-Unis à partir du 11 juin, est entachée d'incertitude quant à la participation de l'Iran. Le 28 février, des bombardements des États-Unis et d'Israël contre l'Iran ont causé la mort du Guide suprême Ali Jameneí et dévasté des zones du pays, fermant les aéroports et compliquant la logistique.
