“IT’S A CATASTROPHIC WORLD CUP. A COMPLETE DISASTER! THIS ISN’T FAIR TO IRAN! 🇮🇷” 😤💥
Iran captain Mehdi Taremi once again spoke out to explain his country’s situation at the World Cup. 👇
“Mr. Infantino came into our dressing room before our first match and said, ‘This is only the beginning.’ But the group stage is ending, and our logistics team still isn’t here. They don’t have visas!!!” 😤
“How is it possible that we still have to travel to Tijuana?
We love the Mexican people. 🇲🇽❤️
We love Tijuana. It’s a great place. The people are humble, and we love them.
But as professional players, in a professional competition, this isn’t normal. Is this fair? Maybe it’s fine for FIFA, but it’s not fair to us!
We want to send a message of peace—to the people in Iran, outside Iran, to FIFA, to everyone. But we are not being treated with peace in return. 😔
I am sad…
But as human beings, we always have hope. We have good energy in the dressing room, so we’ll see what happens. We are proud.”
