Iran says World Cup ticket allocation has been withdrawn days before kickoff, leaving travelling supporters unable to attend matches.
Iran’s football federation says its allocation of World Cup group-stage tickets has been revoked just days before the tournament kicks off. The federation claims FIFA rules guarantee each nation 8% of match tickets for supporters and says some fans had already made travel plans. Iran called the move unfair and urged FIFA to uphold neutrality and equal treatment. The development adds to growing tensions surrounding Iran’s participation at the 2026 World Cup.
