Iran's national team was forced out of the United States directly after their World Cup opener against New Zealand, Fox News reports. Players expected to stay in California overnight but were told upon the match's conclusion that all delegation members had to fly immediately to Tijuana, Mexico, about 140 miles away.
Iran's World Cup team arrived in Tijuana. The squad can only cross into the U.S. on game days and must leave the same day, per Iran's ambassador to Mexico.
