Iran coach Amir Ghalenoi is one of two people in Iran's delegation to travel to the US
A delegation from Iran will attend the 2026 World Cup draw in the US on Friday after threatening to boycott it over a visa row.
Iran applied for nine visas but were issued four, with Mehdi Taj, president of Iran's football federation (FFIRI), among those rejected.
Taj said this week that he spoke with Fifa president Gianni Infantino and that no-one from Iran would attend the draw "unless all visas are issued".
However, Iran coach Amir Ghalenoi and Omid Jamali, head of international relations at the FFIRI, have travelled to the US and could be joined by more delegates.
