Infantino Meets Trump: President Assures Iran’s Welcome at World Cup

Football news

FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently met with former U.S. President Donald Trump, where Trump reportedly assured Infantino that Iran would be welcomed to the upcoming World Cup. Following the meeting, Infantino took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his gratitude for Trump’s support, stating, “I thank him for his support, it once again demonstrates that football unites the world.” This diplomatic exchange occurs as football continues to navigate complex global issues, including the recent granting of political asylum to Iranian women footballers in Australia and the logistical challenges faced by Iraq in preparation for their crucial playoff match scheduled for March 31 in Mexico.
