Iran vs New Zealand - World Cup 2026 Tickets

It won’t be easy

Iran and New Zealand, who will face Belgium and Egypt in Group G of the World Cup, will aim to secure three points against each other in their first group match to keep their hopes alive for the Round of 32. Since the Iranian delegation—whom Donald Trump has barred from staying in the U.S.—will play all three of their matches in the U.S., they will make a day trip from Tijuana, Mexico, on each match day. It remains to be seen how this logistical challenge will affect Iran’s performance in the tournament, especially since the team decided to participate in the World Cup again after initially withdrawing due to political tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The Persians finished as group leaders in the second round of qualifiers against Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Hong Kong; and in the third round of qualifiers against Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kyrgyzstan, and North Korea. Amir Ghalenoei and his players, who earned their World Cup berth through hard work, will be looking to capitalize on the scoring prowess and experience of 33-year-old Mehdi Taremi.

Chris Wood, perhaps for the last time

Having worn the New Zealand national team jersey 89 times and scored 45 goals, this 2026 World Cup could be the last for Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood. The All Blacks will be aiming for their first-ever World Cup victory in their third appearance. In 1982, New Zealand lost all three of their matches against Scotland, the Soviet Union, and Brazil, and in 2010, they drew all three of their matches against Slovakia, Italy, and Paraguay, failing to advance from the group stage. With Australia participating in the Asian qualifiers, the black-and-white-clad New Zealanders easily advanced through the Oceania qualifiers. If you’re interested in taking the first step of their World Cup journey with them, Iran vs. New Zealand match tickets are available at the best prices on Seatpin.
