to report Online economy According to Khabarozshi, the ESPN site wrote about the first meeting between the national football teams of Iran and New Zealand in Group G of the 2026 World Cup: This is the first time that these two teams will face each other in a FIFA World Cup competition, and therefore it will be their first meeting on the biggest sports stage in the world. Both teams shined in the preliminary stage. Iran lost only once in 16 matches (after promotion was confirmed) and recorded its seventh appearance in this world event. New Zealand also reached its third World Cup with a complete brilliance in Oceania (5 victories, 29 goals scored and only one goal conceded).
Possible composition of Iran in the meeting with New Zealand
Alireza Biranvand, Aria Yousefi, Ali Nemati, Saeed Ezzatollahi, Hossein Kanaanizadegan, Mohammad Mohebi, Ehsan Hajsafi, Ali Qolizadeh, Mehdi Tarimi, Saman Qudous and Amir Hossein Hosseinzadeh.
Can Iran be fully focused on the earth?
In its evaluation of the Iranian national team, the ESPN site wrote: Iran has been in the headlines throughout the preparation process due to the conflict with the United States. Their participation in the tournament was in danger and even now they have had to set up their camp in Mexico and travel back and forth to the American soil.
Earlier, Amir Ghalenoui said in a conversation with the FIFA website: “We had many problems, but the players tried their best and made a lot of sacrifices.” They can do something epic in the World Cup. They have the technical potential to make this World Cup memorable.
Chris Wood remains New Zealand’s key player
Chris Wood, the 34-year-old striker of Nottingham Forest (the record holder for the most games and the most national goals for New Zealand), is still considered the key piece of the All Whites despite the injuries of the last season. Darren Beazley, the head coach of New Zealand, hopes that his team’s strong defense line (which recently conceded only one goal against England) will be in very good condition to meet Iran.
The Los Angeles Su-Fi Stadium is the newest stadium to host the 2026 World Cup, which opened in September 2020 and is scheduled to host this match.
