Iran’s national football team has faced a series of off-field issues during and after its opening match in the competition. According to reports, the match, which ended in a 2–2 draw, was followed by complications including an alleged requirement for team members to leave United States territory immediately after the final whistle. It is said that the instruction was issued shortly after the match concluded. There have also been reports of visa-related problems affecting some members of the squad, including Mehdi Taremi, which have impacted the team’s travel and logistical arrangements. In addition, players including Taremi were reportedly subject to additional questioning and border checks when entering and leaving the United States. As of now, these details have not been fully independently confirmed by official sources.
