“I wish 🇮🇷 IR Iran the very best as they embark on their fourth successive FIFA World Cup campaign,” Infantino wrote in a social media post.
Iran will play their first match against New Zealand on June 15 in California, US.
Iran’s Football Federation earlier asked FIFA to relocate its fixtures to Mexico over security concerns amid the war. However, FIFA rejected the plea, stating that logistics could not be changed this close to the tournament.
