A decaying body was discovered in the trunk of a car parked near the stadium in Tijuana, Mexico, where the Iranian national football team is training for the 2026 World Cup. The discovery was made on Friday by journalists and confirmed by the Tijuana prosecutor's office. The vehicle, a grey Toyota SUV, had been parked at a supermarket lot across from the Caliente Stadium since Wednesday. Authorities reported signs of violence on the body, which was found wrapped in a black bag. Tijuana is known for high levels of crime, with over 1,200 homicides recorded in 2025. The Iranian team relocated its base to Tijuana due to tensions and security concerns, and has been under heavy guard since arriving on Sunday, with armed soldiers escorting them to and from training. The body was removed shortly before the team departed the stadium.
