Iran’s national football team arrived in southern Turkiye for a training camp and to complete US visa applications ahead of the 2026 World Cup, AFP correspondents report.

The players and their entourage were seen leaving Antalya airport by AFP correspondents just before 4pm (6pm PKT), about two hours after FlightRadar logged a Varesh Airlines flight from Tehran landing at 1:51pm.

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