IR Iran
Team Profile
- IR Iran are making a fourth successive appearance at the FIFA World Cup™. They had only featured three times in the history of the competition prior to this run.
- Team Melli have yet to make it out of the group stage in six attempts. Their highest-ever points tally in a group was in 2018 when they picked up four points with a 1-0 victory against Morocco and a 1-1 draw against Portugal either side of a narrow 1-0 defeat to Spain.
- Despite exiting in the group stage at Qatar 2022, IR Iran picked up their third win in a match at the finals when they defeated Wales 2-0 courtesy of two goals late in second-half added time.
- The Iranians were the second team, after Japan, to qualify through the FIFA World Cup 26™ preliminary competition in Asia, securing their place after a 2-2 draw with Uzbekistan in Tehran on 25 March 2025. The result guaranteed them a top two finish in Group A, which saw them subsequently finished top of the section.
