Iran Team Allowed To Enter U.S. Day Before World Cup Matches, Says Homeland Security
President Donald Trump: Iran's national football team will be allowed to enter the United States the day before each of its World Cup matches, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said on Tuesday, dismissing reports that the squad would have to travel in and out of the country on match days.
The clarification follows reports on Saturday, when Iran's ambassador to Mexico, Abolfazl Pasandideh, was reported by some news media as saying that the team would have to enter and exit the USA on the same day of their matches, causing concern about travelling and its effect on the team's performance.
"It was not the case that Iran would be forced to arrive the same day as their matches," the DHS spokesman said.
