LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – “The visas required for Iran to participate in the World Cup have been issued, including those for athletes and support staff.” This is the statement from US authorities, reported by the BBC, which definitively opens the door to “Team Melli”‘s participation in the World Cup, scheduled for June 11 to July 19 in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
Iran, which is in Group G with Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand, has changed its training camp established by FIFA, moving it from Tucson, Arizona, to Tijuana, Mexico. It will be from their Mexican headquarters that the team will travel to Los Angeles and Seattle, the venues for the group stage matches. The granting of the visas, intended only for players and members of the technical staff, comes just a few days before their debut in Italy scheduled for the night of June 15-16 (in Los Angeles against New Zealand).
