US measures hinder Iraq's World Cup trip
The Iraqi national football team faced a series of obstacles upon arriving at O'Hare Airport in Chicago to participate in the 2026 World Cup. The forward Ayman Hussein was detained for seven hours for questioning regarding his identity before being allowed into the country. Additionally, the team's official photographer was denied entry to the United States despite holding a valid official visa. He was detained for 12 hours before being forced to leave and return on a lengthy journey. The team hopes to overcome these challenges and focus on their performance in the World Cup after their absence since 1986.
