Iran's Sports Minister, Ahmad Donyamali, has proposed moving Iran's World Cup matches to Mexico, one of the co-hosts of the tournament. This is due to the war in the Middle East, which has led Iran to face Belgium, New Zealand and Egypt in the group stage. The three matches are scheduled to take place in the United States, which is hosting the tournament along with Mexico and Canada. Donyamali has ruled out Iran's participation in the World Cup, but US President Donald Trump has said it is not 'appropriate' for Iran to play due to security concerns. Iran dismissed that statement and reminded that decisions belong exclusively to FIFA. What does this mean for Mexico's team? Can Iran move its World Cup matches to Mexico? These are some of the questions being asked at the moment.
