Mexican authorities in Tijuana investigate the discovery of a decomposing body found near the venue where Iran’s men’s national team trains ahead of its World Cup match against New Zealand. Multiple outlets report the body is located outside or near Tijuana’s Estadio Caliente (Caliente Stadium), where the Iranian squad has been based for training. Police say the remains were found in a vehicle—described as an abandoned car or car parked nearby—with the body wrapped in a bag. Several reports note the body was in the trunk or back of the car, and that the vehicle has California plates. Other accounts mention the body shows signs of violence, though details on cause of death are not provided in the reporting summarized here. Authorities are working to determine how the body ended up at the site and whether any suspects are involved. The incident is being treated as an investigation separate from the team’s preparations for the tournament.
