Sports Today, 09:39

Due to the tense situation in the Middle East, the possibility of the Iranian national team participating in the World Cup is decreasing. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The tournament will mainly be held in the United States, and obtaining visas has always been a persistent issue for Iranians. This was reported by euro-football.ru.

Mehdi Toj, head of the Iranian Football Federation, also expressed concern about the situation. He said: "Because of the World Cup and the US policies towards Iran, it may be difficult for us to participate in the tournament.

However, I am not the one to make this decision," he emphasized to journalists. If the Iranian national team is excluded from the World Cup or does not participate, it is likely that the United Arab Emirates or Iraq national team will take their place.

Thus, the number of teams participating in the tournament may be changed. This situation once again demonstrates the impact of the political situation in the Middle East on sports.
