Iran Faces Uncertainty Over 2026 World Cup Participation Due to US Immigration Laws

A fresh report suggests Iran might miss the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to new US immigration laws impacting their participation. The Iranian Football Federation spokesperson, Amir Mahdi Alavi, highlighted visa complications stemming from the US government's refusal to grant visas to Iranian delegates.

The situation remains uncertain as FIFA has not responded to requests for assistance. The backdrop of the US travel ban affecting Iranian citizens adds to the challenges, potentially preventing Iran from competing in the 2026 World Cup.
