Iran removes World Cup tickets two days before kickoff
The Iranian Football Federation announced the withdrawal of its share of World Cup tickets just a few days before the tournament began, preventing Iranian fans from attending their team's matches despite having made travel plans in advance. FIFA regulations specify that each federation is entitled to 8% of the match tickets, but these allocations were withdrawn, leading the Iranian Federation to describe the move as contradicting the spirit of international competitions and the principle of equality among nations. The federation has called on FIFA and the tournament organizers to ensure the rights of Iranian fans.
