Iran’s football federation says it is in talks with FIFA about moving the national team’s World Cup group matches from the United States to Mexico because of the war in the Middle East and security concerns .

Trump says Iran should skip World Cup for own safety

United States President Donald Trump has said that while Iran’s national team is welcome at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he believes they should not take part for their own life and safety. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote that the Iran national soccer team is welcome at the tournament in North America but added that it is not appropriate for them to be there, citing security risks linked to the ongoing war between the US, Israel and Iran. He framed his advice as a warning about potential dangers rather than a formal move to block their participation. His comments came shortly after FIFA president Gianni Infantino said Trump had personally assured him that Iran would be allowed to compete at the World Cup despite the conflict. Infantino said football should help unite people and thanked […]

Infantino very reassured over Mexico 2026 despite cartel violence

FIFA President Gianni Infantino says he is very reassured about Mexico’s readiness to host 2026 World Cup matches despite a wave of cartel violence that shocked the country this week.​ Speaking in Barranquilla, Colombia, he described the tournament as “spectacular” and said everything is on track, even after deadly unrest linked to the killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera. Cartel gunmen went on a rampage in several states, including host city Guadalajara, blocking roads and burning vehicles and businesses.​ At least 74 people were killed during the operation to capture Oseguera near Guadalajara and in subsequent clashes between security forces and suspected cartel members, according to the Mexican government. Only one of those killed was reported as a civilian, but residents and tourists described scenes that felt like a war zone.​ Images of the violence, […]

Cartel Violence Casts Shadow Over Guadalajara

Driving into Guadalajara days after a wave of cartel violence, the aftermath remains visible. Burnt-out vehicles line major roads and blackened stretches of highway mark where dozens of cars were set ablaze during a coordinated rampage attributed to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The violence followed reports that the cartel’s leader, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera, had been killed. The message from the group was unmistakable: with or without its chief, the CJNG retains the capacity to paralyse a major city and project power through fear. Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, sought to calm concerns, saying in her daily press conference that order was being restored and praising the response of security forces. Yet the heavy presence of soldiers and police convoys across Guadalajara has done little to ease public anxiety. Streets remain quieter than usual, with many schools closed and small […]

Infantino backs high 2026 World Cup ticket prices

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has defended the much-criticised ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup, calling demand for the tournament “absolutely crazy”. He said organisers have received about 150 million ticket requests in just two weeks, far above historic levels for the competition.​ Speaking at the World Sports Summit in Dubai, Infantino explained that all revenue from the World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada will be reinvested into football worldwide. He argued that FIFA is the only global body that funds football development in many countries and that these funds keep the game alive in around 150 nations.​ His comments follow anger from fan groups, who have described the 2026 prices as extortionate compared to previous tournaments. In response to the backlash, FIFA announced that a limited number of tickets would be available at 60 dollars to […]
