Iran qualified for the 2026 World Cup by winning AFC Group A, marking their seventh World Cup appearance and fourth in a row.
How they qualified.
Iran dominated their qualifying group with 23 points from 10 matches, finishing two points ahead of Uzbekistan. Captain Mehdi Taremi was the hero, scoring twice against Uzbekistan to secure the draw that guaranteed Iran's World Cup spot. Team Melli lost just once in 18 international matches under Ghalenoei, winning 14 of them since the start of 2023.

Other Asian teams that qualified:
Iran have participated in 6 FIFA World Cups before 2026. Team Melli have never advanced past the group stage but have produced memorable moments and famous victories along the way.
World Cup highlights: Iran.
Iran's 1998 victory over the USA remains one of the most politically significant matches in World Cup history. The 2-1 win came at a time of high tensions between the two nations. More recently, Iran beat Wales 2-0 at the 2022 World Cup with two goals in stoppage time – a dramatic victory that showed Team Melli's fighting spirit.
The cast of characters that made this qualifying campaign happen:
Amir Ghalenoei has been Iran manager since March 2023 (second spell). The Tehran native led Iran to the 2023 Asian Cup semi-finals and has a contract through the 2026 World Cup. His mission is clear: break through the group stage barrier that has haunted Iran for decades.
Iran have been drawn in 2026 FIFA World Cup Group G alongside Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand. Former coach Shahrokhi said: "It couldn't have been better. Iran are in an easy group."
Those games will come in Group G for Iran, who will face:
Group G Teams & Matches Analysis:
Group G is favorable for Iran. New Zealand is the must-win opener – Iran beat them 3-0 in their last meeting (2003 AFC-OFC Challenge Cup). Belgium is the group favorite but they exited in the group stage at the 2022 World Cup – they're beatable. Egypt is the "swing match" that could determine Iran's fate – Egypt won their last meeting 1-0 in a 2024 friendly. If Iran beats New Zealand and gets a result against Egypt or Belgium, they advance.
Ticket prices (2026 FIFA World Cup group stage):
The 2026 World Cup will be played in three countries and 16 top-notch stadiums. Iran will play two matches in the USA and one in Canada.
