At the FIFA Congress in Vancouver, Gianni Infantino confirmed that Iran will participate in the 2026 World Cup hosted by the United States — despite the ongoing US-Israel war against Iran. Trump gave his blessing: 'If Infantino says so, I don't mind.' Iran's football delegation had earlier stormed out of Canada after being detained at Toronto airport, calling it an 'insult.' Meanwhile, Iranian diaspora protesters outside the Congress chanted 'They are not representing Iran' and demanded FIFA apply the same standards used against Russia. A diplomatic paradox with no historical precedent in world football.
