Iran's World Cup Ambitions Clash with War Shadows Amid High-Stakes Infantino Talks

Infantino landed on Tuesday morning. He spoke to a room full of players and coach Amir Ghalenoei, and met privately with federation officials Mehdi Mohammed Nabi, and Omid Jamali.

In a later Instagram post, Infantino promised FIFA’s support to give the team “the best possible conditions” to prepare for the World Cup.

More detail came in an Iranian federation readout, which FIFA later confirmed was an accurate summary of Infantino’s various meetings.

Infantino, the release said, promised he was “at your service, and if you need help, I will provide it,” including with organizing a training camp ahead of the World Cup. That could be in Turkey in the coming weeks.
