@mayadeenenglish: Iran's national football team captain, Mehdi Taremi, was frustrated over the difficulties that the team faced throughout the World Cup, describing it as a "disaster" of a sporting event. "It’s a disaster World Cup; a disaster," Taremi told reporters following the match against Egypt. "I mean, FIFA, they have to solve every problem here, but unfortunately, they could not solve it since the beginning," Taremi stated. He added that the Iranian team faced a number of issues due to FIFA's mishandling and US pressure that forced Iran to play at a disadvantage. "We don’t have our logistics people here. They don’t have a visa," Taremi said. "How is it possible we always have to travel from Tijuana? We love the people in Tijuana. We love Mexico. They are humble people, and we love them, but as a professional player in a professional competition, it’s not right." Taremi stated that the event was "not fair," stating that, regardless of FIFA's position on the matter, the troubles faced by the Iranian players were something unacceptable. "Our opinion is, it’s not fair. Is it fair for FIFA? OK, good to them. But it’s not fair," Taremi said. "Who wants to help us? If they want us to be out, then OK; let’s get out. But that’s not fair. We don’t have recovery or logistics people to help us. We always complain about these things, but no one helps, no one." #MehdiTaremi #WorldCup #WorldCup2026 #2026WorldCup #FIFA #IranFootball #Iran
