The FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier between Iran and Qatar has been moved to a neutral venue in the United Arab Emirates due to security concerns, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said on Thursday.
Iran was set to host Asian champion Qatar on Tuesday but the AFC said the decision to change the venue was taken after consultation with FIFA and other relevant stakeholders.
The venue for the game has yet to be decided.
