Mexico is prepared to host the Iranian football team during this summer's World Cup, solving at least one of the team's problems ahead of a politically tense tour through North America for the summer competition.
At a daily press conference on Monday, President Claudia Sheinbaum said that her government has "no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico".
Over the weekend, with less than a month to go till the start of the tournament, the Iranian team announced it was moving its World Cup camp from the US state of Arizona to Tijuana to avoid visa complications.
