Mexico Prepares to Host Iran National Team Before the World Cup

Mexico announced that it is ready to host the Iranian national football team in the country during the 2026 World Cup to be held this summer. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated at a press conference that there is no reason to refuse to host the Iranian team in Mexico. The Iranian team had announced that it moved its World Cup camp from Arizona, USA, to Tijuana to avoid possible visa issues. The team's first two matches in the tournament will be played in Los Angeles, and the third match will be in Seattle. This situation raises questions about entry into the USA. The White House has not yet responded to Sheinbaum's statements. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump expressed that a comprehensive agreement is very close for reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending conflicts with Iran, while Tehran denies these claims and no final agreement has been announced yet.
