Ministre iranien des Sports : «Nous ne pouvons en aucun cas participer à la Coupe du monde»
Iranian Sports Minister Ahmad Donyamali stated that his country was unable to participate in the 2026 World Cup due to the ongoing war.
When questioned by Iranian television, the official stated that current conditions did not allow the national team to travel to the tournament scheduled in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
In his remarks, Ahmad Donyamali denounced the military actions attributed to the United States and Israel, specifically mentioning the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in air strikes.
According to him, the recent conflicts, which have reportedly claimed thousands of lives, make Iran's participation in the tournament impossible under the current circumstances. "Given that this corrupt regime (the United States) assassinated our leader, we cannot participate in the World Cup under any circumstances. Two wars have been imposed upon us in eight or nine months, and thousands of people have been killed. Therefore, we have no possibility of participating in this way."
Having qualified for the final phase, Iran must play in a group including Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand.
