The U.S. State Department announced on Tuesday that Iran forward Mehdi Torabi has been cleared to enter the United States for the 2026 World Cup. The decision resolves a visa issue that had previously threatened the player's tournament participation.
Torabi is now eligible to travel with Iran's squad and compete in World Cup fixtures. His clearance comes at a critical stage of the group phase, allowing the national team to deploy full strength in upcoming matches.
The resolution removes a major obstacle for Iran's campaign, confirming the availability of the forward for remaining group-stage fixtures.
