A day after statements by FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirming Iran's participation in the next World Cup, new developments regarding the organization of this presence have come to light.
According to the Associated Press, FIFA has scheduled a meeting with representatives of the Iranian Football Federation on May 20 in Zurich, Switzerland. The focus of the meeting will be to finalize logistical details for the Iranian national team's travel and stay in the United States.
The team led by coach Amir Ghalenoei is expected to play at least three matches in the group stage, where they will face New Zealand, Belgium and Egypt.
The meeting was also confirmed by the president of the Iranian Federation, Mehdi Taj, and is expected to clarify the uncertainties that have accompanied Iran's participation. Earlier, the representative herself had expressed doubts about her presence in the tournament, due to ongoing tensions in the region.
Iranian authorities had also requested that their matches be held in Mexico, but this request was not taken into consideration by the organizers.
