Iran World Cup team coach says it was ordered out of U.S. right after first match - CBS News

The Iran winger Mehdi Torabi’s US visa has expired after the team’s opening 2-2 draw against New Zealand on Monday, according to state media.
The player only had a single-entry visa instead of a multiple-entry with Iran staying in Mexico and travelling into the US for their matches.
“Following the national team’s trip to Los Angeles for the match against New Zealand and the conclusion of that game, Torabi’s visa has now expired,” the state news agency IRNA reported.
The Iranian Football Federation “has taken steps to obtain a new visa for Torabi, so that he can accompany the national team in its upcoming matches”, it added.
World Cup organisers and the US have not yet commented.

The article goes into some detail about the design of the park and its operation and is worth a read.
