After playing New Zealand in Inglewood, Iran is due to return there six days later to play Belgium, the Group G top seed. Iran completes the group in Seattle against Egypt on June 26.
FIFA had the option to put Egypt vs. Iran in Vancouver but chose to keep Iran inside the U.S.
FIFA had about 200,000 total tickets available for those three Iran games and most are sold. Changing cities to Mexico would expose FIFA to compensating fans, broadcasters and sponsors who have paid for flights and hotels according to the official game schedule.
