The Iran national football team has finally arrived in Mexico after overcoming visa complications ahead of the World Cup. However, several key officials have yet to receive U.S. visas, prompting veteran defender Ehsan Hajsafi to express frustration and question FIFA’s handling of the matter. Due to the delays, Iran relocated its planned training camp from Tucson, Arizona, to Tijuana, Mexico, near the U.S. border.
Iran’s participation had faced uncertainty because of regional conflicts and diplomatic tensions. Although the team was eventually cleared to compete, the visa process forced logistical changes. According to Iranian media, those still awaiting visas include the federation’s secretary general Hedayat Mombeyni, vice president Mehdi Mohammad Nabi, and several senior staff members from management and media operations.
Hajsafi emphasized that these officials play vital roles in daily operations and urged a swift resolution. Head coach Amir Ghalenoei has received his visa and continues leading preparations. While the visa delays have affected Iran’s pre-tournament readiness, the team now aims to focus on on-field performance as discussions over the unresolved visa issues continue.
