The Iran national football team is currently participating in the 2026 World Cup in the United States. Mehdi Torabi, the team's winger, has lost his visa after just one game. He did not play as a substitute in the national team's opening match against New Zealand held in Los Angeles. The Iran Football Federation (FFIRI) has stated that Torabi's visa was only valid for a single entry and expired after the match. Therefore, the federation is working to obtain a new visa for him so he can participate in the upcoming matches. Iran's next game is against Belgium on Sunday, and Torabi needs to secure a new visa by Saturday. This situation has placed significant pressure on the national team players due to the political tensions between Iran and the United States, affecting their performance.
