Iran's football federation has accused the United States of revoking its allocation of tickets for the upcoming Fifa World Cup group matches, claiming that the US is obstructing Iranian supporters' attendance amid ongoing diplomatic tensions. The federation stated that the US has created bureaucratic hurdles, including visa denials for support staff, which have hampered Iran's ability to participate fully in the tournament. According to Fifa regulations, Iran is entitled to eight percent of tickets for each match, but the federation reports that it can no longer provide tickets to its supporters. This situation has arisen just days before Iran's first match against New Zealand in Los Angeles on June 15. The federation has urged Fifa and tournament organizers to uphold principles of neutrality and fairness. Additionally, Iran has announced a shift in its World Cup training base from Tucson, Arizona, to Tijuana, Mexico, due to the escalating tensions with the US. The ongoing disputes highlight the challenges faced by Iran in participating in the World Cup, particularly in light of recent visa issues affecting its delegation.
