Iran Coach Slams US Host Treatment
from Canberra News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Iran’s coach Amir Ghalenoei is furious over how the US, co-hosts of the World Cup, are treating his team, accusing officials of unfair treatment and visa denials that hamper recovery and preparation. Despite a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Egypt, Iran’s fate hangs in the balance, and Ghalenoei demands FIFA president Gianni Infantino intervene. Captain Mehdi Taremi adds that eleven senior staff were blocked from entering the US, hinting at deeper political motives to sideline Iran. Forced to fly out of Seattle at 3 AM after being denied extended stay, the team’s resilience under pressure is their greatest triumph. This isn’t the first time—they’ve faced rushed travel three times now, each impacting their readiness. Meanwhile, Egypt’s coach downplays Mohamed Salah’s injury, saying the star striker expects to play against Australia. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
