Oman today_ The final match of the second leg in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers will be held between the national football teams of Iran and North Korea. North Korea, which has not traveled to Iran for many years, is set to face the Iranian team in this crucial encounter.
A review of past encounters between these two teams shows that North Korea’s last visit to Tehran dates back to October 15, 2008, during the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in South Africa. That match ended with a 2-1 victory for Iran, with goals scored by Mehdi Mahdavikia and Javad Nekounam.
Since then, North Korea has not traveled to Iran, and matches between the two teams have been held in other countries depending on the tournament’s arrangements.
This match will take place today, Tuesday, June 10, 2025, at 7:30 PM Iran time and will be broadcast live.
