Four members of Iran's World Cup delegation successfully appealed their visa rejections for entry into the United States, while 11 others remain banned from traveling. This comes as the team has relocated its base to Mexico due to concerns related to U.S.-Iran relations.
Iran's first match in the tournament is scheduled against New Zealand in Los Angeles on June 15. Despite the successful appeals, U.S. officials have revoked ticket allocations for Iranian supporters, and there are ongoing discussions regarding entry restrictions for individuals linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
