Caption: FIFA Chief Insists Iran Must Play In World Cup Despite War. Gianni Infantino said Iran “has to come” to the World Cup despite tensions with the United States. The tournament will take place in the U.S., where Iran is scheduled to play multiple matches. U.S. President Donald Trump suggested it may not be appropriate for Iran to attend due to safety concerns. Iran’s sports minister Ahmad Donyamali said participation is unlikely under current conditions. Tehran had requested matches be moved to Mexico, but FIFA rejected the proposal. Infantino said he hopes the situation will improve before the tournament begins. He stressed that sport should remain separate from politics and help build bridges. The situation remains uncertain as the conflict continues to affect global sporting events. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
