Iran moves forward with 2026 emergency draw against the United States

The Iranian delegation will still participate in the draw for the final part of the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in Washington next Friday.

Previously, the region’s fate rested on its food supply via threats to boycott access to the aphid visa system with the United States.

The Iranian Football Federation (FFIRI) has submitted nine applications for US visas for its delegates, but has received no commendations for more of them. Among those acquitted at the exit, the president of the federation, Mehdi Taj, also quit.

The official previously stated that he had met with FIFA President Gianni Infantino and said the Iranian representative would not appear at the ceremony because not all visas would be visible.

Issue the ultimatum: the boycott will not become a reality. The head coach of the Iranian national team, Amir Galenoy, and the head coach of the FFIRI international team, Omid Jamali, have already arrived in the United States.

It turns out that other members of the delegation may join before them. The current problems are related to the tense watersheds between the edges and the strict borders along the sides of the United States.

Earlier, President Donald Trump signed a decree banning the entry of citizens of twelve countries, including Iran, that rely on national security. However, the document relays information to athletes and coaching staff attending major tournaments such as the 2026 World Championships and the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

Iran successfully qualified for its seventh world championship in history and fourth year. The draw for the tournament will take place on Friday at 7pm Kyiv time.

Legionnaires named the main force of the Ukrainian national team before the match with Sweden

Defender of the Ukrainian national team Alexander Svatok The blue and yellows will face the Swedish national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

– Despite this, the “blue-yellows” advanced to the play-offs in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and will face Sweden in the semi-finals in March next year. What can you say about this competitor?

– The opponent is strong and authoritarian. It will be a difficult match for both teams, but our team believes in its strength. We really want to go to the World Cup.

– I can’t help but ask about the potential rivals of the Ukrainian national team at the final stage of the competition: Netherlands, Japan and Tunisia?

– It is difficult for me to say anything about the Japanese and Tunisians right now, but on paper the Netherlands will probably be seen as the favorites of this group. But I don’t want to look that far yet; We need to beat the Swedes first,” said Svatok.

In case of victory, Ukraine will play with the winner of the Poland-Albania doubles for a ticket to the World Cup. Ukraine will play the final match at home on March 31, again conditionally.

In addition to the 12 teams that finished second in their groups, the 4 winners of the Nations League quartet will also participate in the play-offs. All 16 participants are divided into 4 paths. Each route will include a semi-final and a final. The semi-finals will be held on March 26, and the finals will be held on March 31, 2026.
