Iran Still Waiting on Visas for USA/Mexico

Published May 30, 2026 · Updated May 30, 2026 · NRK

Less than two weeks before kickoff, Iran's national football team still lacks visas for the USA and Mexico, the federation announced on Saturday.

The Iranian Football Federation sent an official letter to FIFA on Saturday asking for transparency and clarification regarding visa processes for the delegation. No response has been received yet, and the federation states travel plans cannot be finalized due to the uncertainty.

Originally scheduled for Arizona, the camp was moved to Tijuana, Mexico, after US authorities refused to let the delegation stay overnight. Iran plays New Zealand, Belgium, and Egypt in Los Angeles and Seattle, with the first match on June 15. chickenroadslot.lat
