India, June 22 -- Iran's tactical 0-0 draw against Belgium at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on Sunday night has left Group G of the FIFA World Cup 2026 completely gridlocked. Backed by a masterclass from goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand and a second-half numerical advantage, Team Melli successfully ground out their second consecutive draw. Under the expanded 48-team tournament format, this result keeps Iran's fate entirely in their own hands ahead of the final group stage fixtures. They can now qualify for the Round of 32, which will mark the first time in Iran's football history that the Iran national football team has ever qualified for the knockout stages of a FIFA World Cup.
