Iranian Ambassador Criticizes 'Northern Neighbor' Over US World Cup Visa Issue
Iran's ambassador to Mexico criticized the US for not issuing visas to the Iranian football team for the 2026 World Cup, saying the team cannot compete on a 'level playing field' due to training obstacles. The team moved its training camp to Tijuana, Mexico, after original plans in Arizona fell through. Iran will play group matches in Los Angeles and Seattle.
