Criticism of FIFA. Iran has played its World Cup debut – and shortly after had to leave the USA. The national team's situation has become a big topic during the World Cup.

And he continues: – And not only that, when you finally get into the tournament, you’re not allowed to stay, you get kicked out, you can’t be in the country for more than 24 hours. You’re not competing on equal terms and don’t feel like you’re part of the tournament in the same way as all the other teams, says Safari. Watch the segment on SVT News.
