IRAN have become the latest team to qualify for next year’s World Cup. However, the Asian nation may not even be allowed to play in it. Two goals from Inter Milan striker Mehdi Taremi saw Iran

Iran have confirmed their spot at next year’s World Cup in North America, but the Middle Eastern nation could still be banned from competing by Donald Trump. The tournament is scheduled to take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Yesterday, Iran secured its mathematical qualification for the 2026 World Cup after drawing against Uzbekistan, thanks to a brace from Mehdi Taremi that helped equalize the match twice. Naturally, all the fans present at the Azadi Stadium in Tehran erupted in joy. However, there is a slim chance that Iran could be expelled.
