According to the federation, only four members of the Iranian delegation were granted visas by the US government, while the applications of others were rejected.
"We have informed the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) that the decisions taken have nothing to do with sports and that members of the Iranian delegation will not participate in the draw," the FFIRI said in a statement.
