Dead body found near Iran's World Cup training camp in Tijuana

Mexican police discovered a decomposing body wrapped in a black bag inside the trunk of an abandoned SUV parked near the Caliente Stadium training site used by Iran's national football team ahead of its World Cup match against New Zealand. The body showed signs of violence and emitted a strong odor that prompted officers to investigate the vehicle.

The incident occurred in Tijuana, a border city noted for high crime rates, while the Iranian squad trains under armed guard due to heightened tensions with the United States and recent visa restrictions affecting staff. Officials said no link has yet been found between the crime and the World Cup event, and the investigation remains ongoing.
