Iran World Cup squad arrives in Turkey for training: AFP correspondents

Iran's national football team arrived in southern Turkey on Monday for a training camp and to complete U.S. visa applications ahead of the 2026 World Cup, AFP correspondents said.

The players and their entourage were seen leaving Antalya airport by AFP correspondents just before 4:00 pm (1300 GMT), about two hours after FlightRadar logged a Varesh Airlines from Tehran landing at 1:51 pm.

Known as Team Melli, the players were to stay around two weeks in Antalya before travelling to the United States where they will play all three of their matches in Group G.
