From 1978 to 2022, Iran's World Cup journey has been defined by joy, heartbreak, and unforgettable performances, yet breaking the group-stage barrier remains the main goal at the 2026 World Cup.

Iran has sought clarification from FIFA on delay in 2026 World Cup visa issuance after moving its training base from Arizona to Tijuana, a top official said Friday.

FIFA reportedly plans to prohibit display of flags associated with Iran's former US-backed monarchical regime and related apparel at venues during the 2026 tournament.

Iran football coach Amir Ghalenoei has prioritized a domestic core and tactical versatility in his 30-man World Cup squad, aiming to break Team Melli's knockout-stage jinx with pragmatic, battle-hardened resilience.

FIFA says constructive discussions with Iran’s football federation have reinforced confidence over the country’s participation in the 2026 World Cup.

Iran warns that hosting the World Cup must not turn into an instrument for political pressure or selective behavior against any national team.

Iran's football federation announces that the men's national team will participate in the 2026 World Cup this summer, but demands that the joint hosts, the United States, Mexico, and Canada, agree to its conditions.
