Infantino addressed the Iranian players after the draw with New Zealand
FIFA President Gianni Infantino spoke words of support to the Iranian national team players after the match against New Zealand at the 2026 World Cup, supporting them in a difficult moment.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino went down to the Iranian national team's locker room after the debut match at the 2026 World Cup against New Zealand (2-2). Let us remember that the Iranians arrived at the tournament which takes place between the United States, Mexico and Canada, despite the political conflict and war actions with America.
«The match against New Zealand was difficult and with a little more luck you could have even won. But you owe it to your families, friends, fans and the whole world that you are at the World Cup, that you show a good game. You still have two games left. And in these remaining two games you will have to make the world swell with pride again for what you do! I know what you're going through. I understand everything… But you are stronger than all this. Send a signal to the whole world. This evening you united the whole stadium around you. You showed it to the world and sent a powerful signal. Thank you very much", — RMC Sport reports Infantino's words.
After Infantino's speech, the Iranian national team players applauded him.
