Iran's national team has left their Tijuana base camp, moving closer to the World Cup opener scheduled for Los Angeles. The squad's departure marks the final step in preparation for the tournament's kickoff next month.
Base camp departure
The players and staff cleared out of the temporary training facility in Tijuana, Mexico, where they had been based during the weeks leading up to the competition. The move signals the end of their acclimatization phase and the start of match-focused preparations.
Security and logistics
Security arrangements and travel logistics for Iran's World Cup campaign have been finalized, according to team officials. The plan covers everything from transport between venues to accommodations in Los Angeles, where Iran will play their opening match. Authorities on both sides of the border have coordinated to ensure smooth movements for the delegation.
Market odds
Betting markets are pricing Iran's chances of advancing deep into the tournament at relatively high odds, reflecting uncertainty about their performance. While no exact figures were released, the odds suggest bookmakers view Iran as a long shot to progress beyond the group stage.
The squad now awaits the official start of the World Cup, with their first match set to take place in Los Angeles. All eyes will be on how the team performs after their extended time in Tijuana.
