Iranian Football Federation

The Iranian Football Federation (FFI) is the governing body for football in Iran, responsible for overseeing the national teams and promoting the sport within the country. Recently, the FFI made headlines by filing a complaint with FIFA regarding travel restrictions imposed on the Iranian national team ahead of their match against Belgium in the 2026 World Cup. The federation argued that these limitations hindered their team's preparation and expressed concern over the principle of fair competition, as similar issues had previously affected their travel to a match against New Zealand.
