Introduction

The Iranian football team is getting ready for the 2026 World Cup. There are some problems with travel and politics.

Main Body

The team is training hard. First, they practiced in Iran. Next, they will go to Türkiye to play three friendly games. In June, they will play against New Zealand, Belgium, and Egypt in the USA. Some leaders are angry and do not speak. The USA, Israel, and Iran had a fight in February. President Trump and the head of FIFA now say the team can play in the USA. However, Canada did not let two Iranian leaders enter the country. Now, the Iranian football boss wants a promise from FIFA. He wants to be sure the team can enter the host countries without problems. One player, Ali Gholizadeh, cannot play. He has a bad knee injury. He needs a doctor and a long time to get better.

Conclusion

Iran is still training. They are waiting for a promise that they can enter the countries safely.
