Two teams looking for their first win at the 2026 FIFA World Cup meet in Los Angeles when Belgium face Iran in Group G on Sunday 21 June.
Belgium needed a second-half own goal to salvage a draw against Egypt in their World Cup opener but finished strongly. Romelu Lukaku forced the equalizer just 22 seconds after coming off the bench, leaving manager Rudi Garcia with a selection dilemma. Belgium’s record goalscorer has played just 69 minutes for Napoli this season due to injury and is without a goal in his last eight World Cup games, but showed against Egypt that he still fears defences.
Iran return to LA after drawing 2-2 with New Zealand here in their Group G opener, twice coming from behind through Ramin Rezaeian and Mohammad Mohebbi. Having flown back to their training base in Mexico after that match, they now face arguably their toughest group clash in what looks to be an increasingly open section. The expanded format means more knockout places are up for grabs than ever before, so this looks like Iran’s best chance of progressing beyond the group stage for the first time.
