Iran – Qatar 2026 World Cup qualifier relocated
TEHRAN – Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has announced that the World Cup qualifying match between Iran and Qatar, originally scheduled to take place at the Emam Reza Stadium in Mashhad, Iran, will be held in a neutral country.
AFC has decided to change the field after Iran launched dozens of missiles toward Tel Aviv last week. Israel has also vowed to respond to the attack.
The Iranian football federation must introduce a neutral field until Wednesday.
Team Melli will meet Uzbekistan in Group A on Thursday at the Bunyodkor Stadium and the stadium could be one of Iran’s options for the match against Qatar.
