Trump says Iran can compete in 2026 World Cup after FIFA approval.

President Donald Trump says he supports Iran’s participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the U.S., telling FIFA President Gianni Infantino to “do whatever you want” regarding the team’s schedule. The tournament is set to begin June 11, with Iran scheduled to play in Los Angeles and Seattle, though a potential U.S.-Iran knockout stage match remains a point of concern.
