TIJUANA, JUNE 4, 2026.-A few days before Iran's national team arrives in Tijuana as part of their preparation for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Club Tijuana's director Jorge Hank Rhon expressed his confidence that the city can host the team safely during their stay at Estadio Caliente. Asked if he considers Tijuana has the necessary security conditions to host a World Cup team, Hank Rhon replied: «I hope so, because if not, what a disaster we will have». On the security measures planned for the arrival of the Iranian delegation, he assured that the operation is already strengthened and will have the support of federal corporations. «It's already very strong. There will be the National Guard at all entrances, even in the back, for the stables. And more than that, what we have always done», he said. The director also spoke about the moment that young Tijuana-born footballer Gilberto Mora is living, who emerged from Xolos' youth teams and is considered one of the promises of Mexican football heading to the World Cup. Hank Rhon expressed his pride in the player's development and highlighted not only his sporting qualities but also his family and academic environment. «He's fantastic. I wish all Baja Californians and all Mexicans would put their hands together for him to score a goal, because it would be the youngest player to score a goal in a World Cup», he said. He added that Mora is a student at the German School and recognized the work of his parents in his formation. «We are very proud of him and his family, because his father and mother bring him up very well. The boy puts a lot of effort into it, he really dedicates himself», he said. The director considered that the presence of young players like Mora represents a motivation for national football and a source of pride for Tijuana. «A lot of pride, a lot of satisfaction that there is a Mexican like him and that he is from Xolos, with more enthusiasm», he said.
