[86477] Solution to Mehdi Torabi's visa crisis ahead of the Iranian national team's games in the USA

Mehdi Torabi's visa crisis in the USA resolved

A minor storm surrounding the Iranian national team squad has come to an end after it was revealed that player Mehdi Torabi's visa had expired. According to Football 360, the problem arose because, unlike the rest of the national team players who received "multi-entry" visas to the United States, Torabi held a visa valid for only one entry, which expired upon the conclusion of the match against New Zealand in Los Angeles.

Following the situation, the Iranian Football Federation was forced to act urgently with the authorities. In joint publications by Khabar Fori Jang-e Iran and Tabriz Khabarlari ️, it was confirmed that after coordination with FIFA, a new multi-entry visa was issued for Torabi.

The Football Federation officially announced that "with the receipt of this visa, Torabi will not encounter problems going forward" and will be able to continue accompanying the Iranian delegation for the rest of the tournament's matches. The reports are unanimous in claiming that this was a technical bureaucratic issue that was resolved without professional harm to the national team.
