Iran is scheduled to play three group-stage matches beginning on 11 June, including fixtures against New Zealand and Belgium in Los Angeles, followed by a match against Egypt in Seattle.

The comments come after Iran’s sports minister, Ahmad Donyamali, said the team would not take part in the tournament following the US-Israeli war on Iran.

“Considering that this corrupt regime has assassinated our leader, under no circumstances can we participate in the World Cup,” he said.

I’m from Europe and would not feel safe over there. My perception of the USA is probably biased by lemmy, but it really doesn’t seem like the place to be.

I think you're pretty spot on. I'd recommend no one come to the US unless they absolutely have to.

I'm not sure any of the teams will be safe here. ICE might pick them up in a sweep and deport them. "What's that? You're here to play football? Who do you play for, the Cowboys? Bullshit, we're sending you home, amigo."
