Apart from referee and shir-mard Alireza Faghani, Canadian defender Luc de Fougerolles is the remaining representative in the World Cup with an Iranian link.

His mother has Iranian nationality, having been born in Tehran.

He has just qualified to the round of 16 with Les Rouges/the Canucks. Go Luc!

In Iran’s 2025 budget, the regime's propaganda broadcaster IRIB’s deficit alone was ≈$400M; 12× the entire Ministry of Sport budget. IRIB’s allocation (≈$260–280M) exceeded the combined budgets of 10 ministries.

On top of that, the regime poured ≈$120M into Islamic propaganda institutions (seminaries, ideological orgs, overseas indoctrination).

Soccer sits at the bottom of that hierarchy. Most clubs are still state or military‑owned, denied TV rights income, and run by politically connected managers.

Compare that to South Korea: a football association with ≈$170M annual revenue, mandated academies for every pro club, a national “Made in Korea” talent project, and grassroots leagues covering ~14,000 youth players.

Iran has the talent but what it lacks is a regime willing to invest in anything it can’t fully control.

محمد خاکپور در واکنش به حذف تیم ملی از جام جهانی ۲۰۲۶ نوشت: «تیم ملی نمادی از یک ملت است. وقتی بخشی از جامعه احساس کند این نماد دیگر نماینده احساسات، دردها یا امیدهای او نیست، فاصله‌ای ایجاد می‌شود که نتیجه‌اش را نمی‌توان فقط در جدول دید؛ بلکه در واکنش‌های مردم می‌توان مشاهده کرد.»

کاپیتان پیشین تیم ملی فوتبال ایران در این یادداشت اینستاگرامی نوشت: «این روزها، پس از حذف تیم فوتبال از جام جهانی، واکنش‌های متفاوتی دیده می‌شود. در کنار ناراحتی عده ای از هواداران، بسیاری از مردم نیز از این نتیجه ابراز خوشحالی کرده‌اند.»

به عقیده محمد خاکپور، «فوتبال زمانی زیباست که مردم احساس کنند تیم، بازتابی از خودشان است؛ شادی‌اش شادی آنهاست و رنجش رنج آنها. اما هرگاه این پیوند عاطفی سست شود، پیراهن دیگر به‌تنهایی نمی‌تواند احساس تعلق ایجاد کند.»

او نوشت: «مردم ممکن است از یک شکست فوتبالی خوشحال نباشند؛ اما گاهی از فروریختن تصویری خوشحال می‌شوند که دیگر آن را واقعی نمی‌دانند. مردم میان «نمایش» و «واقعیت» تفاوت قائل‌اند. آنها شاید اشتباهات فنی را ببخشند، اما احساس دوری و بی‌اعتمادی را به‌سادگی فراموش نمی‌کنند.»

@PersianFutbol What's there to understand? Teams play like this in their final group matches, always.

The people of Gaza supported Egypt against Iran.

The Islamic Republic has spent decades sacrificing Iran’s economy, isolating the country, and dragging Iranians into confrontation with Israel in the name of the Palestinian cause. Iranians have paid the price through sanctions, economic collapse, and now war.

Yet Egypt, which shares a border with Gaza and kept the Rafah crossing heavily restricted to many refugees and wounded Palestinians throughout much of the war, is still being cheered on by Gazans against the Islamic Republic.

A bankrupt foreign policy. Enormous costs for Iran. Little to no goodwill from many of the very people it claimed to champion.

Another failure of the Islamic Republic. A government that prioritizes foreign causes over its own people will ultimately fail both.

The Palestinian issue has brought Iran nothing but economic hardship, international isolation, and war.

The failure to reach the World Cup knockout stage, and the broader decline of Iranian football, falls on the FFIRI, former IRGC commander Mehdi Taj, and Amir Ghalenoei.

1. The FFIRI

The pattern never changes.

We miss the World Cup knockout stage. We miss the Olympics. We fail to win the Asian Cup or even reach the final.

Before 1979, Iran qualified for a World Cup when only 16 teams competed, won three Asian Cups, and qualified for three Olympic football tournaments.

Since the Islamic Revolution: zero World Cup knockout appearances, zero Olympic qualifications, and zero Asian Cup titles.

This is not bad luck. It is a system that has produced the same failures for 47 years.

The FFIRI has overseen the decay of our football infrastructure while neglecting youth development, grassroots football, and long-term planning.

2. Mehdi Taj

Mehdi Taj has been a disease in Iranian football.

Using his political connections and IRGC ties, he has turned Iranian football into his personal power base and refuses to let go.

Backed by powerful figures within the establishment, Taj answers to no one, faces no accountability, and is never challenged. Failure is rewarded, loyalists are promoted, and competent people are pushed aside.

He has been one of the principal architects of Iranian football’s decline.

3. Amir Ghalenoei

Ghalenoei wasted a golden opportunity.

He selected one of the oldest squads in World Cup history, left some of Iran’s best players at home, refused to trust young talent, and then failed to beat New Zealand, the lowest-ranked team in the tournament. He threw away what should have been three guaranteed points in arguably the weakest group.

Player heroics cannot hide poor coaching, poor squad selection, or poor tactics.

Even if Ghalenoei leaves tomorrow, which he probably will not, the damage has already been done. He denied an entire generation valuable international experience and set Iranian football back years.

4. FIFA, the United States, and the Islamic Republic

FIFA awarded the tournament to the United States, where the Trump administration’s travel restrictions created unnecessary obstacles for Iranian players and staff who had nothing to do with politics, adding to the oppression they already face at home.

These players deserved better. They should never have been punished for the actions of their government.

The Islamic Republic also bears responsibility. Decades of isolation, regional aggression, and failed diplomacy have repeatedly created obstacles for Iranian athletes representing their country.

5. The culture of excuses

One of our biggest problems goes beyond football. We constantly turn ourselves into victims whenever we fail. That mentality is rooted in deep-seated religious traditions that glorify suffering and martyrdom.

This tournament had genuine injustices, but they do not explain our repeated failures.

Every tournament ends the same way. Players in tears. Excuses. Stories about what went against us.

Yes, FIFA failed us. Yes, the Trump administration’s policies created unnecessary obstacles. Yes, the Islamic Republic has oppressed Iranian football for decades.

But at some point, we have to stop defining ourselves by our suffering. We should use those hardships as fuel. We need to become stronger, mentally tougher, and more confident, not perpetual victims.

It is not bad luck when it happens over and over again. The system is working exactly as it was designed to.

Do not let one good result or one memorable moment distract you. Forty-seven years of failure cannot be explained away by isolated successes.

I expect more of the same at the upcoming Asian Cup.

It is a shame, because our hardworking players and our incredible fans deserve far better.
