According to ISNA; In a controversial move, the American government announced that fans of the national teams of Iran, Haiti, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire are prohibited from entering the country during the World Cup due to national security considerations.
This decision of the Trump administration has created a wave of controversy at the international level. This decision is in the framework of the expansion of the list of countries that are subject to entry visa restrictions, and it means that thousands of fans are deprived of directly supporting their national teams in American stadiums.
The decision has been heavily criticized in sports and legal circles and has been described as an arbitrary measure aimed at fans who only want to support their national teams at the biggest football event in the world.
This decision has been described as “unprecedented” in the history of World Cups. According to the report of the French newspaper “Equip” quoting “The Touchline” account on the “X” platform, this list may also be extended to the fifth team, which is the national team of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which should play in the playoffs.
According to the same sources, the executive order signed by US President Donald Trump last week imposes a complete ban on the travel of ordinary fans from the mentioned countries during the tournament. The only exceptions include official players’ boards, coaching staff and their immediate families, but ordinary fans will be barred from attending US stadiums to watch matches.
