FIFA President Gianni Infantino has revealed a significant shift in former US President Donald Trump’s stance regarding Iran’s national football team participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to be hosted in the United States. According to Infantino, Trump, who previously expressed indifference on the matter, now extends a ‘cordial invitation’ to the Iranian squad.
However, despite this apparent welcome from the US side, the president of the Iranian football federation is reported to hold substantial reservations about their team’s involvement in the upcoming global tournament.
