US Lets Iran Arrive Early for Final World Cup Group Match
The US Department of Homeland Security has eased travel restrictions on Iran’s football team ahead of their last group-stage game. Instead of arriving just one day before kick-off and departing immediately after, Team Melli will now land in Seattle two days before facing Egypt on June 26. They will still be required to leave the US on match day. Iran drew 2-2 with New Zealand and held Belgium to a goalless draw under what coach Amir Ghalenoei called “trying” conditions. The change gives the squad an extra day to train and prepare.
