FIFA - World Cup tickets for Iran fans revoked, says country's federation

Each federation for the 48 teams taking part is entitled to receive and distribute 8% of stadium capacity at the World Cup, adding up to several thousands of tickets for each game.

FIFA has total authority over ticketing operations at the World Cup, yet the Iranian soccer body suggested "the United States has now taken steps to obstruct the presence of Iranian supporters at the stadiums."

"This incident raises serious questions about the influence of non-sporting and political considerations on the organization of the world's biggest football event," the Iranian soccer federation said.

FIFA said in a statement Tuesday it is "working closely with the IR Iran Football Federation to identify compliant solutions that maximize opportunities for Iranian supporters to attend matches."

1. The compliant solution is to release the tickets as entitled. Period.
