Contrary to some reports about the entry and exit of the Iranian national football team into the United States, the president of the country's football federation explained on Sunday that the national team is allowed to enter the country one day before each match.

Previously, Abolfazl Pasandideh, the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Mexico, stated that based on the conditions set for the visas of the Iranian national football team members, players and coaching staff are only allowed to enter the United States on the day of their matches and must leave the country the same day.

According to ISNA, Mehdi Taj, who himself could not obtain a U.S. visa, also said on Sunday: "It is really strange that they interfere to this extent in the management of football. This is unusual."
