Canadian Minister Says Iranian Soccer Officials Denied Entry Ahead of FIFA Congress
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand confirmed that Iranian soccer officials, including Football Federation president Mehdi Taj, were denied entry to Canada ahead of the FIFA Congress in Vancouver. The denial, described as unintentional, was linked to the officials' connections to the IRGC, a listed terrorist entity in Canada. The incident occurs weeks before the World Cup co-hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico, where Iran is scheduled to play in Group G.
