Gary Lineker said Iran have been 'treated very unfairly' at the 2026 World Cup after visa restrictions prevented the team from staying in the United States, forcing players and staff to base themselves in neighbouring Mexico during the tournament.
Speaking to Yalda Hakim on Sky News, the former England striker said it was disappointing that some teams and officials had faced travel and visa difficulties during the competition. He singled out Iran's situation, noting that the team has been required to commute from Mexico for matches played in the United States.
