Mexican authorities discovered a decomposing body stuffed inside the trunk of an abandoned vehicle just yards from where Iran’s national soccer team is preparing for the 2026 World Cup.
The grim discovery was made Friday in a supermarket parking lot across from Caliente Stadium in Tijuana, where Iran has established its training base ahead of upcoming matches in the United States.
According to local authorities, residents had complained for days about a foul odor coming from a gray Toyota SUV parked in the lot.
When officers inspected the vehicle, they found a body wrapped in a black bag inside the trunk.
“Upon inspecting the vehicle, they found a person wrapped in a black bag in the trunk, showing signs of violence,” a spokesman for the Tijuana prosecutor’s office said.
Officials have not released the identity of the victim.
Forensic investigators were seen examining the SUV and collecting evidence from the scene before removing the body.
