Iran, the 20th-ranked team in the FIFA Rankings, qualified for this World Cup – the seventh in the nation’s history – as the AFC third round Group A winner. The team’s six previous World Cup appearances have all ended in the group stage.
The Iranian team enters on a three-match win streak, most recently defeating Mali 2-0 on June 4. The team has been playing its 2026 matches in Turkey.
New Zealand is appearing in its third World Cup, and its first since 2010. The two previous appearances have seen the team exit after the group stage. New Zealand was the third-round OFC winner, which qualified it for the World Cup.
In 2026, New Zealand had a win over Chile, but lost its other four matches, including recent friendlies against Haiti and England.
