The video released by the Iranian federation showed the players and members of the technical committee on board the flight, some sleeping and resting, and carrying out other activities such as watching films and doing physical tests. At one point, it is possible to see Mehdi Taremi, the national team's striker and playmaker, reading a book together with other teammates. See the video above.
The Iranian team arrived in Tijuana, Mexico, around 9 am on Sunday, where they will prepare for the World Cup. The team will play all group stage games in the United States, but will be based in the neighboring country, because the USA and Iran are at war. Given the scenario, the delegation will have to enter and leave North American territory on the same day as the games.
The last few days have been marked by Iranian accusations against the USA and tensions related to the issuance of visas - the two countries have been at war since February. This is the first World Cup in history in which a host country will host a nation with which it is at war.
The national team players received North American visas to play in the World Cup at short notice, just before taking off for Mexico and on the eve of their debut in the tournament, scheduled for next Monday against New Zealand.
Iran will face Belgium on June 21st and then face Egypt in Seattle on June 26th. The first two games will take place in Los Angeles. Iran and the United States could face each other in the round of 16 (the knockout stage before the round of 16) if both teams finish second in their groups.
