Iran enters the 2026 FIFA World Cup opener against New Zealand at SoFi Stadium as the consensus favorite due to stronger squad depth, greater international experience across seven prior tournaments, and a track record of physical, organized play in Asian qualifiers. Recent developments include Iran's decision to base in Mexico amid U.S. visa restrictions on delegation members, with some staff still barred despite successful appeals, which has complicated final preparations and travel logistics ahead of the June 15 Group G clash. New Zealand, in their third World Cup appearance, faces a steep challenge as an underdog from Oceania, though both sides view the fixture as a chance for historic breakthroughs. The tight draw probability reflects soccer's inherent unpredictability in a politically charged, high-stakes opener.
