Iran World Cup history
Iran qualify for their seventh World Cup (1978, 1998, 2006, 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026), making them one of Asia's most regular participants. Team Melli have never advanced beyond the group stage, their most cherished result a 2-1 win over the USA in 1998. They were the first non-host nation to seal a 2026 berth.
What to know for 2026
- Qualified early from AFC, with striker Mehdi Taremi among the leading scorers.
- An experienced, defensively organised side that frustrates stronger opponents.
- Drawn with Belgium, Egypt and New Zealand, chasing a first knockout appearance.
