FIFA has not approved a request from Iran to relocate its upcoming World Cup matches to Mexico. The organization is maintaining the current tournament schedule as planned.
Iran had reportedly sought the change due to ongoing political and security considerations related to playing matches in certain host locations. The request drew attention as preparations continue for the 2026 tournament.
Officials in Mexico have indicated a willingness to host additional matches if needed. However, any changes to match locations would require formal approval from FIFA, which oversees all scheduling and logistical decisions for the competition.
At this time, FIFA has signaled that no adjustments are expected, and teams are continuing preparations based on the existing plan. Further updates may emerge if circumstances change closer to the tournament.
