Qatar is considering offers from other countries to host teams during the 2022 World Cup, but no decision has been taken yet, the head of the organising committee told AFP on Monday.
Iran has recently offered to host teams who will play in tiny Qatar in the World Cup which starts in just over four years time.
When asked whether teams could be based in Iran, chief organiser Hassan Al Thawadi said Qatar had received "numerous proposals from countries with regard to hosting teams" around the time of the tournament.
"This is part of the operational plan, but obviously it will have to be done with FIFA," he said.
"Nothing is decided on this matter yet and it remains under discussion."
