Iranian union protests visa issues before World Cup
The Iranian Football Federation expressed its displeasure over the United States' refusal to grant entry visas to several of its officials prior to the start of the 2026 World Cup, which hindered the team's preparations, according to an official statement. It clarified that some members of the team's administrative and organizational staff, including the secretary-general and his deputy, were unable to obtain visas. American officials, on the other hand, confirmed that all players, coaching staff, and medical personnel had received their visas, with some still undergoing processing. This crisis comes amid political and security tensions related to Iran's participation in the tournament, which is set to begin with a match against New Zealand on June 15.
