Collaval Jhamers Win Lima’s Street Mundialito as FIFA Confirms Iran to Play 2026 Group Games in U.S.

The two updates show football stretching from a neighborhood street in Peru to a geopolitically sensitive World Cup decision.

Overview

  • Collaval Jhamers, which sealed the title Friday in Lima’s La Victoria district, beat Mi Barrunto 1-0 in the Mundialito de El Porvenir final.
  • The one-day tournament ran on cuadra 6 of jirón Parinacochas with 16 neighborhood teams in a straight knockout that kicked off at 7 a.m.
  • Matches were streamed live on the event’s Facebook page and local police and serenazgo units handled security for the street venue.
  • FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed Thursday at the congress in Vancouver that Iran will play its 2026 World Cup group games in U.S. stadiums.
  • Iran stays in Group G with dates in Inglewood and Seattle after seeking a move to Mexico, which ends weeks of venue doubts for teams, fans, and planners.
