Iran’s Football Federation (FFIRI) said on Tuesday that the allocation of World Cup tickets had been withdrawn just days before the kick-off of football’s global showpiece, leaving fans who had already made travel plans unable to attend their team’s matches.
“This is despite the fact that many Iranian football fans, relying on the officially announced process, had already made the necessary plans to attend the matches,” the FFIRI added in a statement.
