" Iran would boycott the U.S. but not the FIFA planet Championship," said the head of the football federation Head of the national football federation announced that the squad would prosecute group matches in Mexico."

Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum expressed her willingness to organize Iran's matches, stating this week that "Mexico maintains diplomatic relations with all country in the world, so we will wait for FIFA's decision".

FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, however, stated on Thursday that the organization wanted the tournament to ‘has done as planned’ and will not accept Iran's request to decision matches.

Last week, Infantino said U.S. president Donald Trump assured him that the Iranian representation would be “welcome” to the tournament.

However, Trump later suggested that Iranian representation should not travel to the US “for your own life and safety”, suggesting that their safety cannot be guaranteed.

Controversy is simply a consequence of another incidental involving Iranian footballers in Australia at the beginning of this month, erstwhile a man drove his van, covered with Australian flags and symbols related to opposition to the Iranian government, towards the team's bus, hitting it repeatedly, as recorded by Iranian state media.

Taj cited Trump's statements as the basis for refusing to play on American soil, saying that since president "clearly stated that he was incapable to guarantee the safety of Iranian representation, we would surely not go to America."
