Iran's national soccer team has arrived in Mexico to begin training ahead of their upcoming World Cup matches, which are scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The team's decision to train in Mexico comes amid ongoing political tensions and the recent exclusion of star player Sardar Azmoun from the squad.

The training camp in Mexico provides the team with a strategic location and facilities ahead of their international fixtures. Despite the absence of Azmoun, who has been a key figure in previous competitions, the team is focusing on preparation and cohesion as they approach the high-stakes tournament games in the United States.
