Iran moves World Cup camp

Iran moves World Cup camp

The Iranian national football team has received FIFA approval to move its World Cup training camp from Tucson, Arizona, to Tijuana, Mexico.

This decision comes just weeks before the tournament begins, with officials citing safety risks for players and staff due to the war between the U.S. and Iran.

The team is currently training in Turkey while final arrangements are made for their new base across the Mexican border.

The move highlights the significant impact of geopolitical tensions on international sporting events.
