Iran wants to move its World Cup matches from US to Mexico

GENEVA (AP) — The public wrangling between Iran, FIFA and US President Donald Trump over the narrative of playing at the World Cup in June shifted on Tuesday to Mexico where its diplomats suggested Iran’s football team could play its games. The Iranian ambassador and embassy in Mexico City said the country was negotiating with FIFA to move Iran’s three group-stage matches from the United States to Mexico after Trump last week discouraged the team from attending the 48-nation tournament, citing safety concerns.
