Iran Challenges Restrictions on World Cup
The Iranian Football Federation has officially filed a complaint with FIFA against the strict American restrictions imposed on its team during the 2026 World Cup. These included delays in the team's arrival in Los Angeles and the American authorities' refusal to grant visas to around 15 members of the delegation. These restrictions affected the Iranian team's preparations for their match against Belgium, forcing them to relocate their camp to Mexico and to resume training shortly after arrival. Iran considers these measures an unfair hindrance that damages their technical and physical readiness. The U.S. administration, however, denied the Iranian claims, asserting that they had communicated the entry rights to the team in advance and that strict procedures were in place, allowing the team to enter only one day before the match.
