Iran’s World Cup team arrives in Mexico amid US visa row


The Iranian football sqaud has arrived in Tijuana, Mexico, which will serve as its base for the 2026 World Cup amid a row over US visas.

The side’s original plan to stay in Tucson, Arizona was changed after visas were denied for several members of staff, including the head of Iran’s football federation, Mehdi Taj.

All of Iran’s group games are in the US, but players will have to fly in and out of the country on each match day.

It comes as the US-Israeli war with Iran continues, making this the first World Cup to see a host nation receive the team of a country it is at war with.
