The incompetent @FIFAWorldCup host, USA, is failing to fulfill its responsibilities properly.
Iran are guests of @FIFAcom, and it is FIFAโs responsibility to ensure that visas for all members are issued.

FiFA This is so unfair
๐ฎ๐ท Iran's World Cup squad notified they must enter and leave US soil on the same day of their matches played in the US
All group stage games are in the US

๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐: The United States has denied entry to Iraq's official photographer for the World Cup.
He was detained for at least 12 hours and in the end was sent back to his country.

๐โ ๏ธ Iran receives visas, but with restrictions! ๐ฎ๐ท
Iran's national team has finally received the visas required to enter the United States ahead of the World Cup, but under certain conditions. ๐บ๐ธ๐จ
โTheir visas are temporary, meaning players will not be allowed to remain in the U.S. for long periods before or after their matches.
๐ฒ๐ฝโ๏ธ After each game, they will be required to return immediately to their training base in Tijuana, Mexico, forcing the team to travel constantly throughout the tournament.
An unusual situation for a World Cup team.

We'll be bandwagoning ๐น๐ณ Club Africain, if they make group stage that is ๐
So far no reason to believe ๐น๐ฟ Yanga ๐น๐ฟ Simba are any stronger beyond #CAFCL QF appearance.
Exactly four African teams have reached the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals.
Cameroon (1990) ๐จ๐ฒ
Senegal (2002) ๐ธ๐ณ
Ghana (2010) ๐ฌ๐ญ
Morocco (2022) ๐ฒ๐ฆ Not only reached the quarter-finals but became the first African team in history to advance to the semi-finals.
@soka25east
Good luck to our Iranian national team as they head to the World Cup.
Despite the USA doing everything possible to make our World Cup journey more difficult, Iโm confident our players will give everything they have to make history on American soil.
Go make us proud bachehaโค๏ธ
๐จ IRAQ ๐ฎ๐ถ striker Aymen Hussein was held & INTERROGATED for 7 HOURS by US authorities before being allowed into the country for the World Cup.
Welcome to America, I guess?
๐จJUST IN: The International Sports Press Association has told FIFA that "many" Iranian and African journalists have been denied visas to cover the World Cup in America
@unusual_whales Any country that refuses entry or interferes with athletes competing in the World Cup for the duration of the tournament and preparations shouldn't be hosting it.
