Iran’s participation in the 2026 World Cup is now in question after recent attacks.
The country’s soccer federation president, Mehdi Taj, has said they may not be able to take part in the tournament this summer.
This comes after the US and Israel carried out bombing raids on Iran.
Taj told Varzesh3, “It’s clear that after this attack, we can’t really look forward to the World Cup with hope.”
The attacks by the US and Israel continued for a second day on Sunday.
On the first day, the Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was killed in the attacks.
Iran was set to play in Group G at the World Cup, along with Egypt, New Zealand, and Belgium.
The tournament will be held in the US, Mexico, and Canada from June 11 to July 19.
