Iran's World Cup Base Shifts to Tijuana

Iran’s national soccer team is relocating their World Cup base to Tijuana, Mexico — a surprising twist amid U.S.-Iran tensions — after FIFA approved the move, allowing them to sleep in Mexico and travel to California for matches against New Zealand, Belgium, and Egypt. Originally slated for Tucson, Arizona, the switch was made to avoid U.S. overnight stays, while Mexico happily stepped in to host. With the 2026 tournament kicking off June 11th and running through July 19th, San Diego and Inglewood will host key games, including Iran’s crucial fixtures in California.
