U.S. Embassy Confirms Visas for Iran’s World Cup Squad
The U.S. Embassy in Ankara has confirmed that Iran’s national football team has been granted visas to compete in this year’s World Cup in the United States. U.S. Ambassador to Turkey praised his embassy staff for their work processing the visas. He said sport transcends borders and expressed eagerness to welcome teams and fans from around the world. Iran’s squad will travel from Turkey to Spain on Saturday before heading to their base camp in Mexico. They shifted their camp due to tensions with the U.S. over the Middle East conflict. All three group matches will be played in the United States, starting with New Zealand on June 16 in Los Angeles, followed by Belgium in LA and Egypt in Seattle.
