FIFA-voorzitter Gianni Infantino heeft verklaard dat de deelname van Iran aan het WK 2026 nog niet gegarandeerd is, en benadrukt dat de wereldvoetbalbond niet opereert in een vacu\u00fcm, los van mondiale gebeurtenissen.<\/p>\n

Infantino\u2019s opmerkingen werden gedaan tijdens een persconferentie in Bangkok op vrijdag 17 mei 2024, waar hij werd gevraagd naar de mogelijke deelname van het Iraanse nationale team aan het komende wereldkampioenschap.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe leven niet op de maan,\u201d zei Infantino om FIFA's positie te verduidelijken. \u201cWe leven in onze wereld, en we kijken naar de omstandigheden en de situatie overal, ook in Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n

De FIFA-baas bevestigde dat een beslissing over de plaats van Iran op het WK 2026, dat wordt georganiseerd door de Verenigde Staten, Canada en Mexico, nog niet is genomen. Hij gaf aan dat de situatie voortdurend wordt beoordeeld.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe volgen alles, en we zullen de beslissingen nemen wanneer het moment daar is,\u201d voegde Infantino toe, zonder een specifieke tijdlijn voor de definitieve uitspraak te geven.<\/p>\n

Iran, bekend als Team Melli, is een vaste deelnemer geweest in recente WK's, nadat het zich kwalificeerde voor de edities van 2014, 2018 en 2022. Hun mogelijke afwezigheid zou een significante verschuiving in het Aziatische voetballandschap betekenen.<\/p>\n

De verklaring van de FIFA-voorzitter laat de deur open voor verdere afweging, waardoor de toekomst van Iran op het WK onder een wolk van onzekerheid blijft hangen, terwijl het kwalificatietraject voor het uitgebreide toernooi met 48 teams vordert.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
