The US government is allowing Iran’s national team to enter the country two days before their match against Egypt on June 26.
Background
The Iranian team was initially supposed to make its basecamp in Tucson, Arizona, but was forced to move to Tijuana, Mexico due to the war between the US and Iran. The team has been required to leave the country the day after each match, but will now be allowed to stay for two days before the match against Egypt.
The US government has stated that the overall security measures and protocol remain the same, and that they are committed to providing a safe tournament for players, staff, and fans. Iran has managed to draw two matches so far, and is on track to qualify for the knockout rounds.
