Iran football federation chief says World Cup participation in US is in doubt

Iran’s football federation president Mehdi Taj has given a bleak outlook regarding the World Cup in summer in the United States, Mexico and Canada the day after the US and Israel started air attacks against his country.

“What is certain is that after this attack, we cannot be expected to look forward to the World Cup with hope,” Taj told sports portal Varzesh3 on Sunday.

“The US regime has attacked our homeland and this is an incident that will not go unanswered.”
