Soccer: Iran says US revoked its ticket allocation for World Cup matches

# Soccer: Iran has accused the US of revoking its ticket allocation for the World Cup in the country, Canada and Mexico, starting on Thursday. The country’s governing body says the co-host has once again acted to obstruct the presence of Iranian supporters at its stadiums. Iran plays all three of its group matches against New Zealand, Belgium and Egypt in America. The rules dictate a participating team must be allocated eight-percent of tickets for each match, and Iran says fans have already made travel and accommodation plans.
