Iran’s football authorities say no United States visas have been issued so far for the 2026 World Cup. According to statements reported by multiple outlets, the head of Iran’s football federation says Iran has not received information from the U.S. side about which applicants, if any, have been granted visas. He adds that, as of now, no visas have been issued yet.
The comments indicate that visa processing and information sharing between the U.S. and Iranian football officials have not progressed to a point where specific recipients are known publicly. Both reports frame the announcement as an update on the current status of visa issuance rather than a confirmation of outcomes for particular individuals or a specific timeline for future decisions.
Overall, the accounts agree that Iran has not been notified about visa approvals by the U.S., and that no visas have reportedly been issued at the time of the statements.
