Mexican authorities are investigating the discovery of a body outside a stadium in the border city of Tijuana, where Iran's national football team has been training for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The incident was reported on June 13, 2026, according to local media.
The body was found near the Caliente Stadium, which is being used by Iran as a training base. The cause of death and identity of the deceased have not been released, and investigations are ongoing.
Iran is preparing for its World Cup matches, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The team arrived in Tijuana earlier this week to acclimate to the region's conditions.
Mexican authorities have not indicated any connection between the body and the Iranian team. Security around the stadium has been increased as a precaution.
