Iran to lodge FIFA complaint over World Cup restrictions

Iran is preparing a formal complaint to FIFA regarding what it calls 'restrictions imposed by the organisers' for the 2026 World Cup. The Iranian team has been informed that they will only be permitted to arrive in Los Angeles 24 hours before Sunday's crucial match against Belgium. The complaint likely centers on perceived unfair treatment, given the historic US-Iran tensions. The game is critical for Iran's advancement in the tournament.
