This is clear discrimination and political interference in sport. No team should be made to compete under conditions no other country would ever accept.
FIFA has a lot to answer for.
We all knew these situations were going to happen, and so did FIFA. Yet they still allowed the World Cup to go ahead in the U.S. They are not receiving anywhere near the level of scrutiny they should.
The United States has denied a visa for Iran's national team manager Mehdi Mohammadnabi.
He will be barred entering the U.S. for their the Fifa #WorldCup 2026 matches.
He & others also denied visas will travel to the team camp in Mexico whilst efforts to obtain visas continue.
