The Iraqi national team faced a problem before the World Championship. Sport24.az reports that 5 players of the team could not get a US visa. This was reported by the "Shafaq News" portal.
For various reasons, Ibrahim Bayesh, Mohanad Ali, Zaid Tahsen, Haidar Abdulkarim and Ali Al-Hamadi were not granted visas. The Iraqi Football Association has appealed to FIFA for assistance.
The Iraqi national team will compete in Group I with France, Senegal and Norway in the World Championship hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico.
