MEXICO CITY, March 17 (Reuters) – Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Tuesday that her country would have no problem hosting Iran’s matches in the 2026 World Cup, if soccer governing body FIFA agrees.

Iran’s football federation has asked FIFA to move their World Cup matches to Mexico from the United States due to concerns about the safety of their players after the U.S. launched joint air strikes at the country.
