The situation has made it impossible for Iran to travel to the United States, where they were scheduled to face 🇳🇿 New Zealand, 🇧🇪 Belgium, and 🇪🇬 Egypt in the group stage in June–July 2026. 👀 FIFA is expected to appoint a replacement team, with 🇮🇶 Iraq or 🇦🇪 UAE reportedly among the candidates to fill Iran’s spot in Group G.
