7 hours ago|Mexico has "no problem" in hosting the Iranian squad for the 2026 World Cup, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday.
Iran had announced on Saturday they wanted to be based in the Mexican border city of Tijuana and not in Tucson, Arizona, as originally planned.
"The United States did not want the Iranian squad on their territory," she said at a press conference.
"They (Iran) therefore asked us: 'can we be based in Mexico? and we replied yes, no problem'."
