This is what Iran's ambassador to Mexico says.

" We can enter in the morning and have to leave the same day," Abolfazl Pasandideh told reporters.

Due to the war between the United States and Iran, the Iranian national football team was forced to move its World Cup base to Mexico, even though the team will play all of its matches in the United States. Iran wanted to move the matches to Mexico, but FIFA said no.

The team and parts of the staff have received visas to the United States, but several national team leaders are still without them.

And now it is clear that Iran's national team will also have to fly in and out of the United States on match days.

Iran will face New Zealand and Belgium in Los Angeles, and Egypt in Seattle.
