(7 days ago)Iranian men's national football teams have been given visas to participate in the U.S. World Cup, Canada and Mexico, ending a monthly impasse.
The team was photographed by fans as he left Antalya Airport towards Mexico after moving their base from Arizona at the last minute, due to the war.
The photograph also showed a person with a banner writing: Turkey's"people and Iran are marching together to victory".
Iranian media have reported that 15 members of the national team's delegation have not received visas to participate in team matches at the US World Cup.
Otherwise, Iran will play the first G Group match on June 15th against New Zealand in Los Angeles, where it will face Belgium before playing against Egypt in Seattle.
Iran's war has turned the World Cup into a geopolitical race.
It is the first World Cup since its beginning in 1930, in which a host country is expected to wait for a place with which it is at war. /Periscope
