According to media reports in Iran, chairman Mehdi Taj, national team captain Amir Ghalenoei and seven other employees of the federation have not been granted visas.
In June, US President Donald Trump imposed an entry ban on citizens from twelve countries, including Iran.

"We will do the same review as today, but the difference is that you are ahead of the line," said the country's Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier in November.
Iran, with Swedish-born Saman Ghoddos on the team, qualified for the World Cup back in March.
The World Cup will be played from June 11 to July 19.
