FIFA has invited Iran’s football federation (FFIRI) to its headquarters for discussions about Iran’s participation in the upcoming World Cup. RTE reports that the visit is intended to address the country’s involvement in the tournament.

According to Free Malaysia Today, the Iranian federation links Iran’s willingness to participate to assurances involving FIFA President Gianni Infantino. The report says Iran’s participation is described as conditional on guarantees from Infantino, though specific terms of the guarantees are not detailed in the coverage provided.

Both accounts indicate that FIFA’s engagement is focused on resolving questions around Iran’s World Cup participation through direct talks with Iranian football authorities. The reports do not describe the timeline of the meeting or provide further details on what FIFA and FFIRI will discuss beyond participation-related issues.
