Mexico’s President Sees ‘No Issue’ With Her Country Hosting Iran’s Fifa World Cup Team The recent decision to relocate Iran's World Cup training base from the United States to Mexico, confirmed by FIFA last Monday, has sparked little fanfare despite its implications for international diplomacy and sports politics.
At the center of this story is Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who claims that her country "has no issue" with hosting Iran's team.
This shift in logistics was reportedly prompted by concerns from US authorities, who were hesitant to allow the Iranian national team to stay overnight on American soil.
