On its website, the association writes that in addition to visa requirements, it demands, among other things, that the flag and national anthem be respected and that security be guaranteed for the team.

The United States has warned that people with connections to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) may be stopped because the IRGC is considered a terrorist organization.

All players and leaders, especially those who have done military service in the IRGC, such as players Mehdi Taremi and Ehsan Hajsafi, should be guaranteed visas without any problems, Taj said.

Taremi currently plays for Olympiakos and Hajsafi for AEK Athens.

Iran will play its matches in the United States and face New Zealand, Belgium and Egypt.
