Iran sharply criticizes USA: "One of the most disastrous World Cups"

The Iranian Football Association strongly criticized the United States for organizing the 2026 World Cup, calling it 'one of the most disastrous World Cups' due to poor organization and unprofessional decisions. The team faced significant logistical challenges, including restricted access to the U.S., requiring them to travel frequently between Mexico and the U.S. for matches. The criticism included accusations of political interference, discrimination, racism, and lack of respect for international sportsmanship. The Iranian statement condemned the U.S. for creating unnecessary obstacles that undermined the spirit of football. The comments were made after Iran was eliminated from the tournament after three draws.
