2026 World Cup: Iran's captain denounces a "catastrophic" tournament and attacks FIFA

Coupe du monde 2026 : le capitaine de l’Iran dĂ©nonce un tournoi « catastrophique » et s'en prend Ă  la FIFA

Iran's captain, Mehdi Taremi, didn't mince words after his team's 1-1 draw against Egypt. With Team Melli currently third in their group and their chances of qualifying for the round of 32 seriously jeopardized, the 33-year-old striker strongly criticized the organization of the 2026 World Cup and FIFA's handling of the tournament.

Visibly frustrated at the final whistle, Taremi felt that the conditions under which his team was playing were unworthy of a competition of this level. According to him, the logistical difficulties encountered by the Iranian delegation severely hampered the players' preparation.

"This is a disastrous World Cup. As professionals, we cannot play in a tournament under such conditions. It is neither normal nor fair. If FIFA considers everything to be in compliance, that is their point of view, but we do not share this opinion," said the Iranian striker.

The team's top scorer also stated that the promises made by FIFA President Gianni Infantino had not been kept. "He came to see us in the locker room after our first match and assured us that the problems would be quickly resolved. Yet, the group stage is drawing to a close and our logistics team is still not complete. Some members don't even have their visas," lamented the Iranian captain.

Beyond the administrative issues, Mehdi Taremi denounced a schedule and travel that he considers particularly grueling for his team. "We have to fight against everything. We are forced to travel constantly and go through immigration checks before every game. We can't even stay in Seattle to recover and have to return to Tijuana, Mexico. This is unacceptable at this level of competition," he continued.

The Iranian international went even further, suggesting that his team wasn't being treated fairly. "I feel like everything has been done to make things difficult for us and ensure our elimination. From our perspective, they want to see us leave this World Cup," concluded Taremi, visibly bitter after this latest disappointment.

    Cela il fallait vous y attendre. Vous ĂȘtes en guerre contre le pays organisateur , tout sera fait pour vous controller , vous avoir sous les yeux avec votre dĂ©lĂ©gation . Certe ce n’est pas Ă©quitable ni normal dans le sport. Depuis les visa l’Iran a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©favorisĂ© . Mais votre dernier match a sĂ©duit beaucoup d’amateur de foot et votre tĂ©mĂ©ritĂ© a aussi calquĂ©e la tĂ©nacitĂ© de l’Iran contre USA et IsraĂ«l. Bon courage Capitaine

    Il a raison. TT est fait pour les elimines des le premier tour puisse qu'ils ont resiste jusque la . Leur but contre l'Egypte est favable mais si le Senegal est qualifie a cause du refus de ce but. Mais ils ont le soutient de Allah sans ces durs epreuves.
