The US government has softened its stance on Iran’s national team entering the country ahead of their World Cup match against Egypt. The Iranian team will be allowed to enter the US two days before their match on June 26.
Background
The Iranian team was initially supposed to make its basecamp in Tucson, Arizona, but was forced to move its headquarters to Tijuana, Mexico due to the war between the US and Iran. The team has been facing difficulties, including some members not receiving visas to enter the US and being forced to leave the country immediately after their first two games.
Despite these challenges, the Iranian team has managed to draw two games and is on track to qualify for the knockout rounds. The team will play against Egypt on June 26 in Seattle, and if they win, they will win the group.
