The United States has issued visas to Iran's soccer team to participate in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a White House official confirmed on Friday, Reuters reported. Earlier, Iran's ambassador to Mexico, Abolfazl Pashaev, had said on Thursday night that visas had not yet been issued to the team.
Iran, in Group J, will begin its World Cup campaign against New Zealand on June 15 in Los Angeles. The second match will be against Belgium, also in Los Angeles, while the third and final group match will be against Egypt in Seattle.
Iran's participation in the World Cup was uncertain due to ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran, but visas have now been issued.
