According to several media outlets, the security situation in the region has recently stabilized, especially following the halt of Iranian missile launches toward neighboring countries. This development could weigh heavily in the evaluation of international football governing bodies.

The final decision, however, is expected next week. UEFA and CONMEBOL must make a definitive call on the venue, with several European countries, including France, Spain, England, and Germany, being mentioned as potential alternatives.
