Four Iranian World Cup Delegation Members Win Visa Appeals, 11 Still Denied US Entry

Washington DC. Four members of the Iranian delegation whose visa applications for the World Cup football were rejected have won their appeals. However, 11 members of the team are still not allowed to enter the United States.

This visa dispute emerged as the Iranian team was traveling to the United States to play in the World Cup matches being jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Earlier, Iran had accused the United States of not granting visas to important backroom staff of its national football team.
