US denies entry to Iraqi team photographer
The Iraq national team's journey to the 2026 World Cup was fraught with difficulties after U.S. authorities barred the team's photographer, Talal Salah, from entering the country. He was detained for 12 hours at Chicago Airport, which led to his return to Iraq and prevented him from joining the squad. The trip also saw the team's star player, Ayman Hussein, be held for seven hours upon arrival at the airport, amid rising security tensions and increased restrictions on the entry of players and journalists.
