Iran’s World Cup squad says it is ordered to leave the United States immediately after their opening match against New Zealand, which ended in a 2-2 draw. According to multiple reports, the team was told to leave shortly after the final whistle, with claims that the instruction came within minutes of the match. Iranian players publicly described the treatment as “disastrous,” according to outlet reports that include comments from forward Mehdi Taremi. The Irish Mirror reports that the departure order follows a pre-agreed condition tied to Iran’s participation in the tournament. Other sources similarly report the alleged instruction to leave “immediately” after the game, framing the issue as a dispute over how the team is handled following the match. The accounts focus on the timing of the order and the players’ reaction, but they do not provide detailed information about the reasons given by organisers or authorities. The situation is presented as part of the operational handling of teams in the World Cup host country after matches.
