Mexican football fans show solidarity with Iran during its World Cup match against Belgium, cheering for Iran despite supporting their own team. Reports describe fans travelling long distances to attend the game, including at least one supporter who leaves Tijuana for Los Angeles early on match day specifically to watch Iran play. The backing also reflects wider reactions among Mexican fans to perceived unfair U.S. visa treatment affecting the Iranian squad, which some supporters cite as a reason for their support. Media accounts portray the atmosphere at the match as one where Mexican supporters treat Iran as a “second team,” joining the crowd in chanting and cheering for Team Melli. While the specific circumstances of the visa issue are not detailed beyond the claim of unfair treatment, all sources emphasize the same central point: Mexican fans rally behind Iran, framed as solidarity and support rather than a change in national allegiance. Overall, coverage focuses on fan behavior at the World Cup venue and the motivations shared by supporters.
