This market will resolve to “Yes” if Iran participates in any official game at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An official announcement from FIFA and/or the Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran of the nation’s removal or withdrawal from the 2026 FIFA World Cup will immediately resolve this market "No". The primary resolution source will be official information from FIFA and/or the Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's April 24 statement affirming Iran's eligibility for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—while barring individuals with IRGC ties—bolstered trader confidence, following Iran's national team confirmation of participation on April 23 despite visa hurdles and safety concerns. FIFA President Gianni Infantino reiterated on April 16 that Iran is "coming for sure," confirming scheduled group-stage matches after rejecting Tehran's request to relocate games from US venues to Mexico. Having qualified atop AFC standings, Iran's odds reflect resolved March withdrawal rumors amid US-Iran diplomatic tensions, with the tournament kicking off June 11; lingering visa or boycott risks cap consensus below certainty.
