Iranian national team player Mehdi Torabi is at risk of missing upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifying matches due to an expired US visa. Torabi’s visa was valid for a single entry, and its expiration prevents him from re-entering the United States for further group stage games. The issue arose as the team requires travel to the US for their qualifying campaign. Authorities are reportedly working to resolve the visa situation, but a swift resolution remains uncertain. This poses a significant challenge for the Iranian team, as Torabi is a key player. The timing of the visa expiration could severely impact Iran’s performance in the crucial qualifying rounds. The team hopes for a quick diplomatic solution to ensure Torabi’s participation.
