Iran's national soccer federation has reportedly asked FIFA to relocate the team's group-stage games from the United States to Mexico due to increasing threats from the U.S. and Israel. The Iranian Embassy in Mexico is currently in discussions with FIFA, although FIFA has indicated it is unwilling to move the matches just three months before the tournament begins. The matches are scheduled to be held in Los Angeles (June 16 and June 21) and in Seattle (June 26). Recent comments by U... President Donald Trump have raised concerns about the security of the Iranian national team, leading to Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei accusing the host country of lacking capacity to provide security for such an important sporting event.
