Vancouver ¨C FIFA President Gianni Infantino reiterated that Iran will play its World Cup games in the United States as scheduled as soccer's power brokers met in Vancouver on Thursday.
Iran's participation at this year's World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States has been shrouded in uncertainty since the eruption of war in the Middle East in February following strikes by the United States and Israel.
Infantino, who has repeatedly stated that Iran will be at the World Cup, underscored that stance at the start of his address to delegates as FIFA's 76th Congress got underway in western Canada.
