The Iran national football team has been affected by the cancellation of its World Cup ticket allocation. This decision was made just a few days before the start of the competition. The Iranian Football Federation had started selling these tickets, but after the cancellation, it can no longer provide even one ticket to applicants. The team will face New Zealand, Belgium, and Egypt in Group G. The first two matches will be held in the Los Angeles area, and the third match will be held in Seattle. The restrictions on Iranian citizens traveling to the US have also reduced the likelihood of a large number of fans traveling from inside Iran. The White House had previously announced that Iranian players and essential team members would be exempt from travel restrictions to participate in the competition, but this exemption does not apply to ordinary fans.
