Iran 'boycotting' USA but not World Cup: Football federation chief

Iran will "boycott the United States" but "not the World Cup," Iranian football federation president Mehdi Taj said.

Iran is currently scheduled to play its group matches in the US in this year's tournament.

"We will be preparing for the World Cup. We will boycott the United States but not the World Cup," Taj said on Wednesday in a video published by the Iranian press agency Fars.
