Iran Says Team's Base Camp for World Cup Has Been Moved to Mexico from the US Iran's soccer team has relocated its base camp from Tucson, Arizona, to Mexico just days before the start of the World Cup.
Although FIFA has not confirmed the move, it appears that security concerns and uncertainty surrounding the conflict in the Middle East prompted the decision.
The initial plan was for Team IR Iran to train in Tucson, but given the ongoing tensions between the US and various Middle Eastern nations, a change of scenery seemed prudent.
