Iranian Team Visa Drama Before World Cup

Iranian Team Visa Drama Before World Cup

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 1:45

Iran’s World Cup squad is stranded in a visa nightmare as key staff remain blocked from entering the U.S., forcing them to relocate training to Tijuana. The Iranian federation accuses the U.S. of politically motivated interference, threatening to escalate to FIFA, while U.S. officials offer conflicting accounts—some say players are cleared, others that staff were rejected for fraud. Amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and looming matches against New Zealand, Belgium, Egypt, and possibly the U.S., this diplomatic spat threatens to derail their tournament prep.
