Viewing from Iran

Iran Summer Time is UTC+4:30, meaning every timezone calculation for Iranian fans involves a half-hour offset. The New Zealand opener arrives before dawn at 06:30 in Tehran. The Belgium match falls just after midnight. The Egypt finale becomes a morning kickoff at 08:30. The 2022 Qatar World Cup placed Iran at relatively convenient viewing times given the regional proximity. The Los Angeles and Seattle venues in 2026 represent a more demanding shift. Fans in Tehran will need to commit to some late-night or early-morning viewing, but the tradition of gathering regardless of the clock is well established.
