The Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran (FFIRI) intends to file a formal complaint with FIFA regarding travel restrictions planned for the 2026 World Cup. Iranian officials believe these limitations will disadvantage their national team. Details of the specific restrictions prompting the complaint have not been disclosed, but the FFIRI asserts they create an unfair playing field. The complaint centers on the potential impact on the team’s ability to travel and prepare effectively for matches. FIFA has not yet responded to the anticipated protest. This action signals growing concern among some nations regarding logistical challenges associated with the expanded 2026 tournament, hosted across three countries: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The FFIRI hopes FIFA will address their concerns and revise the travel regulations.
