Iran qualifies for 2026 FIFA World Cup after draw with Uzbekistan; Australia takes step closer to qualification

The Hindu  

Iran qualified for the 2026 World Cup after Mehdi Taremi scored twice in a 2-2 draw with Uzbekistan on Tuesday. The Inter Milan striker scored his second goal in the 83rd minute in Tehran, giving Iran the point it needed to qualify for a fourth straight appearance at the World Cup and a seventh overall. Uzbekistan, two points behind Iran in Group A with two games remaining, would have qualified for the first time with a victory and twice took the lead at the Azadi Stadium. Immediately, Abbosbek Fayzullaev restored Uzbekistan’s lead but, Taremi responded, this time from close range, to send Iran to the World Cup where it will attempt to progress past the group stages for the first time.
