According to the Tehran Times, the Iranian national football team, known as Team Melli, will begin a training camp on Monday at the national team complex, which will focus on tactical refinement and team coordination under the full supervision of the coaching staff.
According to the latest schedule, the friendly against Panama was scheduled to be played at Iran’s training base in the United States, filling the spot of the previously scheduled match against Puerto Rico, which has now been cancelled.
Iran is included in Group G for the 2026 World Cup and will face a challenging line-up featuring Belgium, New Zealand and Egypt, combining European power, a dynamic Oceanian playing style and African strength.
This upcoming match will be a key opportunity for the coaching team to assess the form of the players, experiment with tactical set-ups and build momentum as Iran look to make a strong impression on the world stage.
