Iran calls itself World Cup's 'most oppressed' team

AI Summary

Iran's World Cup team is filing a formal complaint with FIFA regarding travel restrictions imposed by US authorities during the 2026 tournament. The Iranian delegation was denied permission to fly from their base camp in Mexico to the United States two days before their next match, and must instead enter within 24 hours of matches and depart the same day. Iran contends these restrictions prevent adequate preparation time for their players.
