Iranian officials to miss FIFA Congress over alleged mistreatment in Canada

An Iranian football federation delegation, led by President Mehdi Taj, turned back at Toronto's Pearson airport, citing unacceptable treatment by Canadian immigration officials. Despite holding valid visas, the delegation members returned to Turkey due to what they described as unacceptable behavior from immigration officials. The Canadian government stated that officials linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are inadmissible to Canada.
