Infantino reasserted his views on Iran’s participation on Wednesday, saying the team will travel to the US “for sure”.
While the US-Israel war on Iran is currently in the midst of a Pakistan-brokered two-week ceasefire, officials in Iran have repeatedly requested a relocation of their team’s games from the US to Mexico – two of the three host nations of the World Cup, along with Canada.
However, FIFA and Infantino ruled out a relocation, citing logistical impediments and promising safety for the Iranian players and staff.
