Iran’s football federation chief says no visas have yet been issued for the national team to play World Cup games in the United States, Al Jazeera reports.
“Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will have a decisive meeting with FIFA. They must give us guarantees because the visa issue has still not been resolved,” state news agency IRNA quotes federation chief Mehdi Taj as saying.
“We have not received any account from the other side regarding who has been granted visas. No visas have been issued yet.”
Players are expected to travel to the Turkish capital, Ankara, for fingerprinting as part of the visa process.
