Football history: Iran have now qualified for seven World Cups, the most of any Asian Football Confederation member. Team Melli won three AFC Asian Cups in the 1960s-70s but have never advanced past the World Cup group stage despite high-profile near-misses in 2014 and 2018.
Current coach: Amir Ghalenoei (since 2023)
Key player to watch: Mehdi Taremi — Inter Milan striker, the team's experienced goal-getter.
Best World Cup result: Group stage — seven previous appearances

Where does Iran play at the 2026 World Cup?: Iran is in Group G for the 2026 World Cup, hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Use the XI builder above to assemble your projected Iran starting eleven.
Can I build my own Iran World Cup squad?: Yes — the Golazo XI builder lets you pick any 11 from the full Iran pool, set a formation, and share an image of your lineup. No sign-up required.
Is the Iran squad final?: The pool reflects the current player data we have on file and is updated as call-ups and form change in the run-up to the tournament. You can always re-pick your XI as the official squad is announced.
