0:59Now PlayingIran's soccer federation says FIFA has revoked its ticket allocation for fans to attend the team's three scheduled matches in the U.S., affecting several thousand seats.
While FIFA controls ticket distribution for the tournament, Iranian officials accused the U.S. of preventing their supporters from attending, saying Washington has "taken steps to obstruct the presence of Iranian fans at the stadiums."
Separately, FIFA has removed a Somali referee from the tournament after he was denied entry to the U.S. over the weekend. Last year, the Trump administration imposed new travel restrictions on Somalia, complicating entry for its citizens.
