It has already been reported that some higher-level Iranian personnel have been denied visas. Why must Iran pay the price for Chairman Trump's illegal war?
FIFA has revoked the ticket allocation for Iran fans at the team's three World Cup games in the United States, the national football federation said Tuesday.
Each federation for the 48 teams taking part is entitled to receive and distribute 8% of stadium capacity at the World Cup, adding up to several thousands of tickets for each game.
Just days before Iran begin their World Cup campaign on June 15 at the Los Angeles Rams' stadium in Inglewood against New Zealand, the federation claimed in a statement reported by semi-official state media that it was now unable to provide any tickets to its supporters.
FIFA was approached for comment.
The claim adds to the turmoil between Iranian soccer, FIFA and tournament co-host the U.S., which began military attacks on Iran on Feb. 28.
An attempt to keep their fans out should lead to a boycott, IMO.. SAY ‘NO’ TO WAR! RESIST!
I'm not surprised. He'll get away with it under national security rules
