Iran's midfielder Mehdi Torabi heads the ball during the Qatar 2022 World Cup Group B match against the USA in Doha on November 29, 2022.
Iranian forward Mehdi Torabi has received a visa for the United States that will allow him to play the rest of the tournament there, a team official says.
Torabi, who sat on the bench in the squad's opening 2-2 draw with New Zealand, had originally been granted permission to enter the country only once, setting the team scrambling to find a solution that would allow him to return to face Belgium on Sunday (all times local).
"Following efforts by the Football Federation and coordination with FIFA, the player was issued a new multiple-entry visa today," a team official said on Tuesday.
