伊朗国家队主教练阿米尔·加莱诺伊周六表示,伊朗世界杯参赛阵容将于周一前往土耳其,进行集训和友谊赛,并在前往美国前完成签证申请。
“蓝衣军团”将重返安塔利亚——他们在3月曾在此训练并进行友谊赛。
本次集训球队共有30名球员,最终需缩减至世界杯规定的26人上限。其中最知名的球员当属现年33岁的前波尔图前锋迈赫迪·塔雷米,目前效力于奥林匹亚科斯。
“为世界杯赛前最后一次集训挑选30名球员,是我执教生涯中最艰难的技术决策,”加莱诺伊在接受伊朗足协官网采访时表示,他补充道,选拔球员完全依据“技术标准”。
伊朗队计划在安塔利亚进行两场友谊赛。为伊朗队安排友谊赛的加拿大籍伊朗人萨姆·迈赫迪扎德赫表示,球队已经确认了5月29日对阵冈比亚的一场比赛。
伊朗与美国在1980年断交,球员们预计将在土耳其期间完成签证所需的必要手续。
伊朗足协主席迈赫迪·塔吉周四对伊朗媒体表示:“目前尚未签发任何签证。”
塔吉表示,球员们需要在土耳其完成签证流程中的指纹采集,但他希望避免从安塔利亚前往280多英里外的安卡拉。
塔吉预计将与国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺举行会谈,在当前战争加剧紧张局势的背景下,伊朗方面希望为球队获得相关保障。
当球队抵达美国后,伊朗队将在亚利桑那州图森市设立大本营。
球队世界杯小组赛首战将于6月15日在洛杉矶以南的索菲体育场对阵新西兰,随后将在同一场馆迎战比利时,最后在西雅图的流明球场对阵埃及。
特朗普总统就伊朗是否应参加世界杯的表态前后矛盾。多名官员当时向哥伦比亚广播公司透露,3月中旬的一场白宫会议上,特朗普对国际足联代表表示,伊朗队欢迎参加本届赛事。但两天后,特朗普在Truth Social平台上发文称,虽然伊朗队“欢迎”参赛,但他“认为他们参赛不合适,这关乎他们自身的生命与安全”。
在这番表态后,塔吉表示伊朗正与国际足联协商,希望将比赛场地改在墨西哥。
因凡蒂诺多次表态伊朗将参赛。4月30日在加拿大温哥华举行的国际足联代表大会(有全球200多个国家的国际足联代表参与的年度会议)上,因凡蒂诺在开场致辞时直接说道:“对于那些想说什么或写什么的人,我立刻明确:伊朗当然将参加2026年国际足联世界杯。当然,伊朗将在美国举办比赛。”
塔吉上周表示,伊朗将参加世界杯,但附带某些条件。
“我们将参加我们获得参赛资格的世界杯,主办方是国际足联,而非特朗普先生或美国,”塔吉在接受伊朗国家电视台IRIB采访时说道。
Iran men’s soccer team heading to Turkey for World Cup preparations

Iran’s World Cup squad will travel to Turkey on Monday for a training camp, friendlies and to complete visa applications before heading to the United States, head coach Amir Ghalenoei said on Saturday.
Team Melli will be returning to Antalya where they trained and played friendlies in March.
They are taking a squad of 30 players, which will have to be trimmed to the World Cup maximum of 26. Perhaps the best known is 33-year-old former Porto striker Mehdi Taremi, now with Olympiacos.
“Selecting 30 players for this final training camp ahead of the World Cup was the most difficult technical decision of my coaching career,” Ghalenoei told the Iranian football federation website, adding that he had selected players solely on “technical criteria.”

Iran hope to play two friendlies in Antalya. They have already confirmed one match, against Gambia, on May 29, said Sam Mehdizadeh, an Iranian-Canadian who heads a company that sets up friendlies for the team.
Iran and the U.S. cut diplomatic ties in 1980, and the players are expected to use their time in Turkey to complete the necessary procedures for obtaining visas.
“No visas have been issued yet,” Mehdi Taj, the Iranian football federation head, told Iranian media on Thursday.

Taj said players were expected to undergo fingerprinting in Turkey as part of the visa process but wished to avoid a trip of more than 280 miles from Antalya to Ankara.
Taj is expected to hold talks with FIFA president Gianni Infantino as Tehran seeks assurances for its squad amid tensions increased by the ongoing war.
When the squad reaches the U.S., Iran will set up their base camp in Tucson, Arizona.
They are due to kick off the group stage of their World Cup campaign against New Zealand at SoFi Stadium south of Los Angeles on June 15, before facing Belgium in the same stadium, and then Egypt at Lumen Field in Seattle.
President Trump has appeared to send mixed messages on whether he believes Iran should take part in the World Cup. In a White House meeting in mid-March, Mr. Trump told FIFA representatives that Iran was welcome to play in the tournament, officials told CBS News at the time. However, two days later, Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social that while the Iranian team was “welcome” to participate, he didn’t “believe it is appropriate that they be there, for their own life and safety.”
Following those remarks, Taj said Iran was negotiating with FIFA to play its matches in Mexico.
Infantino has repeatedly stated that Iran will participate. On April 30 in Vancouver, Canada, while addressing the FIFA Congress — an annual meeting which involves FIFA representatives from more than 200 nations — Infantino opened his remarks by “confirming, straight away, for those who want to say something else or write something else, that of course Iran will be participating at the FIFA World Cup 2026. And of course Iran will play in the United States of America.”
Taj said last week said the country will participate in the World Cup, but under certain conditions.
“We are going to the World Cup, for which we qualified, and our host is FIFA, not Mr. Trump or America,” Taj told Iranian state broadcaster IRIB.
