Turin, 25 May (LaPresse) – ‘The United States does not want the Iranian national team to base itself on its territory. They asked us if they could come to Mexico and we said yes, there is no problem.’ Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum gave the green light at a press conference to host Iran during this summer’s World Cup, confirming reports that Team Melli intends to set up its training camp in Tijuana rather than in Tucson, in the US. Iran, which will play its three World Cup group stage matches in the United States, has stated that it has obtained FIFA’s approval to set up its headquarters in Mexico, thereby circumventing visa-related issues.
