Iran Walks Out Of FIFA World Cup 2026.

Tehran; March 2026: The Iranian National Football Team will skip the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Iranian Sports Minister Ahmad Donyamali said.

“Given the fact that the United States government has assassinated our supreme leader, we will not participate in the World Championship under the existing circumstances”, Donyamali said in an interview with TV2 television broadcaster.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be co-hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States between June 11 and July 19. The matches will be staged in 16 cities across the three countries. This will be the first FIFA World Cup featuring 48 teams instead of the previous 32 team’s format.

With 92 days to go for the Greatest Show On Earth; Iran’s decision is surely going to throw a topsy-turvy at the fixtures.

Maverick News would update on the same.
