Body Found Near Iran Team Training Site in Tijuana Raises Security Alarm
A mystery surrounding Iran’s World Cup camp emerged on June 13, 2026, after a body was found near the team’s training and lodging complex in Tijuana, Mexico. According to reports, the discovery prompted concern within the squad about the security situation around its base.
Mexican police reportedly found the body in the trunk of a car near the stadium where the Iranians were training. The vehicle had California license plates and was parked right beside a grocery store close to the training compound, only a few meters away. The body was wrapped in a black plastic bag and showed signs of assault.
The article said the corpse was already in a state of decomposition when it was found. The discovery happened while Iran was holding a practice session, and the team left the site only minutes later.
The report noted that Iran is now dealing with security concerns related to its location. It also highlighted that Tijuana is among Mexico’s most dangerous cities, with more than 1,200 murders recorded there in 2025.
