Iran Say Winger Torabi Gets Multi-Entry US Visa for World Cup Games
The federation said the winger can rejoin Iran for upcoming matches after his original single-entry visa expired.
- On Tuesday, Iran forward Mehdi Torabi received a new multiple-entry visa, allowing him to participate in the remainder of the FIFA World Cup after his initial single-entry document expired.
- The Iran Football Federation stated Torabi's previous visa was valid for only one entry, expiring after Monday's 2-2 draw against New Zealand when the team departed the United States.
- Torabi is an ardent supporter of the Iranian government with documented links to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps , which U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has designated grounds for entry denial.
- Coach Amir Ghalenoei complained Monday that Iran was the "most oppressed team in the World Cup," while Andrew Giuliani of the White House FIFA Task Force defended the departure mandate as procedurally fair.
- The team operates from Tijuana, Mexico, after 13 delegation members were denied U.S. visas amid the regional conflict sparked by Israel and U.S. air strikes on Iran in February.
