 Mexico agrees to host Iran’s World Cup team after U.S. declines to accommodate squad, Sheinbaum says    Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said Monday that Mexico has agreed to host the Iranian national football team during the upcoming World Cup after the United States declined to accommodate the squad. Sheinbaum said the decision followed a request from FIFA, which sought an alternative arrangement after U.S. officials indicated they did not want Iran’s team staying in the country for the duration of the tournament, even though Iran is scheduled to play all of its group-stage matches on U.S. soil. “We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico,” Sheinbaum said during her daily press conference, adding that Mexico accepted the request in coordination with tournament organizers.

 LAWMA URGES WASTE REDUCTION, SORTING AS DISPOSAL SITES FACE WEATHER-INDUCED OPERATIONAL PRESSURE


The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has called on residents to embrace waste reduction, sorting, and responsible disposal practices as disposal facilities across Lagos State experience increased operational pressure arising from heavy rainfall and difficult terrain conditions.


Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, stated that persistent rainfall and increased waste evacuation activities had placed considerable strain on disposal infrastructure, affecting truck movement, turnaround time, and operational efficiency at some landfill and disposal locations across the State.


He noted that the situation had also impacted evacuation logistics for PSP operators and sanitation personnel working under challenging weather conditions to sustain waste management operations statewide.


According to him, the Authority was actively engaging relevant stakeholders and implementing operational measures aimed at improving accessibility, stabilising disposal operations, and reducing pressure on critical waste infrastructure during the rainy season.


Dr. Gbadegesin urged residents to support ongoing interventions by reducing waste generation, properly bagging waste, and adopting waste sorting practices that encourage recycling and resource recovery.


He explained that waste sorting at source, particularly the separation of recyclable and organic waste, would significantly reduce pressure on disposal facilities while supporting the State’s broader transition towards a circular economy and sustainable waste management system.


The LAWMA boss further assured residents that the Authority remained committed to sustaining environmental sanitation across Lagos through continuous collaboration with PSP operators, operational reforms, infrastructure upgrades, and strategic interventions designed to strengthen the resilience of the waste management system.


He also commended PSP operators, drivers, sanitation workers, and operational personnel for their resilience and continued commitment to service delivery despite prevailing operational constraints.


LAWMA appealed to residents for understanding and cooperation, assuring that concerted efforts were ongoing to maintain effective waste evacuation operations and cleaner communities across the State.
