Iran requests FIFA to move its World Cup matches to Mexico

I could still be wrong because English is not my first language but I do think,  he meant using nuclear weapons on Iranians who are currently will not be in America when he plan on utilising nukes. FIFA anyways has turned a lot more political, that is by the way, they have rejected the request. It screams how corrupt they're.

What I understood from that statement Trump made is that he might take the Iranians hostage and the fans as well who come to support the team will be held hostage. Their life will be at risk knowing full well they are not welcomed in that country. In a lay man understanding, their life is at huge risk for any Iranian who go to United State for the world cup.

Although Iran said before that they are not going for World Cup (WC) but it was later that Trump said that Iran can come to United States for WC in but that he does not guarantee the safety of the Iranians. This give Iran the opportunity to tell FIFA not to make their players play in United States.

According to the news that I read it from, it was said that it can not be easy for the teams that Iranian players will play with. Let us see what would happen, but what do you think about this? Do you think FIFA will listen to Iranian government?

I think the Iranian have every right for them to request that their matches should be moved to Mexico,  because like you mentioned Trump already said he can not guarantee their safety if they come to the US, so I think the statement just shows that they are not safe in the US, so I think their request should be considered by the FIFA governing body, so at least they still have the chance to compete in the world cup final.

Iran, is priotizing the safety of it's citizens that will play the world cup in USA so I cannot blame them if they don't feel the safety of their players in the united states soil. Because of the ongoing war between the two countries I think that if it's not possible for FIFA to move Iran team's games to a country that they consider safe it is best that they boycott this world cup.

If for any reasons Iran's national team decides to play in US soil they won't be in their best performance because their minds won't be at ease because they can be targeted. When a president doesn't guarantee your safety in his country it is better not to attempt entering the country and this is what the Iranian team should do.

FIFA has the right to make such requests but it will affect the organisation of the competition. Preparations are already done and the teams that will face Iran have already made their plans. A change in the schedule might be difficult. FIFA might have to consult these nations to know if they are comfortable with such changes. But I think Iran has a valid reason to play outside the US.

From the information that is around now, it seems FIFA rejected the offer. Which means Iran's options would be to take the risk of playing in the US or boycotting the competition.

I think FIFA has the power to talk to Iran opponents in the group stage to fix the match in Mexico based on the ongoing war between the US and Iran because this is not a secret any more. I will feel bad if these countries fail to understand with the Iran national team request for the safety of these players since Trump said the US cannot guarantee them safety.

It makes sense for Iran to ask the respective ones to move their matches to different venues because of the safety concerns. I guess FIFA should look into it, but if they don't then Iran needs to simply boycott the WC, there is no other option.

Maybe we will find what FIFA will do if we look into the history, they ever moved matches for whatever reason then there is a possibility here too.
