به گزارش خبرگزاری تسنیم، رقابتهای جام جهانی فوتبال ۲۰۲۶ از ۲۱ خرداد تا ۲۸ تیر ۱۴۰۵ در کشورهای آمریکا، کانادا و مکزیک برگزار میشود.
با توجه به وسعت بالایی که برای میزبانی از اولین جام جهانیِ ۴۸ تیمی در نظر گرفته شده و برای جلوگیری از سفرهای طولانی تیمها، فدراسیون جهانی فوتبال (فیفا) همه ایالتها و شهرهای میزبان را به سه منطقه غربی، مرکزی و شرقی تقسیم کرده است (تصویر انتهای خبر).
با وجود منطقهبندی فیفا، دیدارهای گروه G ،F ،D ،C و I بهصورت کامل در یک منطقه برگزار میشود و تیمهای حاضر در هفت گروه دیگر، بهصورت پراکنده در مناطق سهگانه به میدان خواهند رفت. با این حال سه تیم میزبان در مرحله گروهی از کشور خود خارج نمیشوند.
بعد از اعمال محدودیت برای ورود شهروندان ایرانی به خاک آمریکا، سایت «پلنت فوتبال» از احتمال قرار گرفتن ایران در گروه مکزیک برای عدم بازی در خاک آمریکا خبر داد.
اگر نگاهی به برنامه خام مسابقات جام جهانی ۲۰۲۶ داشته باشیم، متوجه میشویم که همه دیدارهای گروه مکزیک (گروه A) نیز در این کشور برگزار نمیشود. پنج مسابقه از گروه A در شهرهای گوادالاخارا، مکزیکو سیتی و مونتری مکزیک به انجام میرسد که تیم ملی مکزیک، یک پای سه بازی آن است و یک دیدار این گروه نیز در آتلانتا (خاک آمریکا) برگزار میشود.
به این ترتیب، همگروهی با مکزیک به منزله برگزاری همه بازیها در خاک این کشور تلقی نمیشود. در واقع دو تیم از گروه A بهصورت کامل در مکزیک میمانند که یکی از آنها، تیم ملی مکزیک خواهد بود. پس فقط یک تیم باقی میماند که همه مسابقات خود را در خاک مکزیک برگزار میکند و شاید ایران همان تیم باشد که احتمال آن پایین است. در واقع ابتدا ایران باید در گروهی قرار بگیرد که مسابقات آن در مکزیک برگزار میشود و سپس همان تیمی باشد که فقط در این کشور به میدان میرود. با توجه به حضور ۴۸ تیم در جام جهانی ۲۰۲۶ عملاً احتمال رخ دادن این اتفاق تنها ۲ درصد است.

Mandonna ‘Donna’ Kashanian was taken a day after US bombed Iran, but her community rallied for her freedom
![[image]](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/6129eb56ce6547acbf92433017b9ef07a0aa9648/0_539_2951_1967/master/2951.jpg?width=620&dpr=1&s=none&crop=none)
Federal immigration officials have released an Iranian woman whom they allowed to stay in the US without legal status for the last 47 years, until agents in tactical gear and unmarked vehicles suddenly nabbed her in front of her New Orleans home on 22 June – the day after American forces bombed Iran.
A letter-writing campaign extolling decades of community service by Mandonna “Donna” Kashanian, 64, and care for her neighbors in the quiet Lakeview section of the city helped get her case in front of Steve Scalise, the Republican US House majority leader, and then top Trump administration officials, Kashanian’s neighbor and longtime friend Connie Uddo said.
“We got a little over 200 letters in just a week,” Uddo said. “People were calling constantly.”
She recounted how Scalise, their community’s congressperson, “was inundated with phone calls and emails and said he had to take a look”. Scalise and his staff met with Kashanian’s family, researched her case, spoke with Trump administration officials and got it to federal immigration officials.
Kashanian’s American husband of 35 years, Russ Milne, and their 32-year-old daughter, Kaitlynn, are now able to pick her up from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) detention center in Basile, Louisiana – three hours west of New Orleans – and bring her home.
Kashanian came to the US legally on a student visa in 1978, when she was just 17. She tried to stay beyond her visa by seeking asylum after the anti-American Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s Islamic revolution seized control of her home country in 1979. But court records show she was denied asylum in 1984 and lost her last appeal in 1993.
She also tried to get permanent legal residency – colloquially known as a green card – in her 20s by marrying a US citizen, but she admitted it was a sham and got divorced. A federal court ruled in 2001 that the fraudulent marriage disqualified her from ever getting legal status by getting married, no matter how legitimate. The court acknowledged her marriage to Milne was “bona fide” but ruled that she couldn’t overcome the sham one from her 20s.
Kashanian’s court records show immigration officials ordered her deportation several times since 1983. But each time, they made her departure voluntary because of what the court called her “good moral character”. And for the last two decades, a judge allowed her to stay as long as she continued to follow the law and checked in regularly.
She has no criminal record and her family says she’s never missed an immigration check-in appointment. But she was never able to attain legal immigration status despite obeying the rules the government and courts imposed on her so she could stay.
