Mexico says it has agreed to host Iran’s World Cup team after the United States refused to allow the squad to stay, according to reports from multiple outlets. The decision follows the US declining to permit the team’s continued presence in its territory, prompting Mexico to offer an alternative arrangement.

While details on the duration of the hosting agreement are not included in the provided summaries, all accounts describe the same sequence: Iran’s team faces a refusal from the US, and Mexico steps in to host the squad. The move is presented as a response to the US decision and a way to ensure the team can continue its World Cup-related travel plans.
