About Iran
Snapshot of Iran's 2026 squad and outlook.
Iran, the most successful Asian nation at World Cup qualifying, make their seventh tournament appearance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Team Melli boast a prolific striker in Inter Milan's Mehdi Taremi and experienced wide men including Feyenoord's Alireza Jahanbakhsh and the combative Sardar Azmoun. Coach Afshin Ghotbi has returned to lead a team that is consistently competitive in Asian football. Group G alongside Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand offers Iran a genuine path to the round of 16 for the first time since 2006. Breaking through from the group would be a landmark result for Iranian football.
