Iran Uncertain About World Cup US Trip

The president of Iran's football federation said he does not know if the national team can play World Cup matches in the US after the US and Israeli bombardment of the country. "What is certain is that after this attack, we cannot be expected to look forward to the World Cup with hope," Mehdi Taj told the sports portal Varzesh3 as Iran traded strikes with Israel as part of a widening war.

The conflict has already impacted international football, with the England Lions match in Abu Dhabi being canceled due to the war situation.
