Iran secured automatic qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup by topping Group A in the AFC third-round qualifiers, finishing with eight wins and one draw over 10 matches as of late October 2024, marking their seventh straight appearance. No recent developments indicate any risk of removal, with FIFA maintaining Iran's full membership despite past human rights criticisms and geopolitical tensions involving Israel and regional rivals. Key upcoming factors include potential squad changes via the transfer window, injury news for stars like Mehdi Taremi, and AFC playoff outcomes for other Asian slots, but barring extraordinary FIFA interventions like suspensions, Iran's spot remains secure in the expanded 48-team tournament.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Iran is officially disqualified, banned, withdrawn, or otherwise confirmed not to participate in the 2026 FIFA World Cup by March 31, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
For the purposes of resolution, a qualifying announcement made on or before March 31, 2026, will suffice, regardless of whether Iran ultimately participates in the tournament thereafter.
"Confirmed to not participate" is defined as an official announcement by FIFA, the Iranian Football Federation, or a governing body resulting in Iran's removal from the tournament, whether due to disqualification, withdrawal, suspension, or any other reason.
The resolution source will be official announcements from FIFA or the Iranian Football Federation, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
