Iran is ranked 20th in the FIFA world rankings. They have won two games in their five previous appearances at the World Cup. One of those wins was against current group mates the United States at 1998 World cup in France. Iran is the lowest ranked team in Group B. There was a selective group of Iranians advocating for the suspension of the Irani Football Association and the team due to alleged discrimination against females.
