• Iran’s participation in doubt following US/Israel attacks

• Team scheduled to play in Los Angeles and Seattle

• Potential last-32 match versus USA in Dallas

Fifa’s president, Gianni Infantino, has repeated his belief that Iran will take part in the World Cup this summer despite the federation failing to attend congress in Vancouver.

A three-man delegation representing the Iranian Football Federation flew to Toronto on Tuesday, but one of their number was denied entry to Canada, with the two others declining to attend congress in an apparent act of protest.
