مونديال 2026: إيران تندد بـ"معاملة تمييزية" من الولايات المتحدة بعد رفض عدة تأشيرات
انتقدت إيران السبت الولايات المتحدة، الدولة المشاركة في استضافة كأس العالم لكرة القدم، لما وصفته بـالمعاملة التمييزية لعدم منحها تأشيرات دخول لبعض أعضاء الوفد الإيراني لحضور البطولة.
وتساءلت السفارة الإيرانية في تركيا في منشور عبر منصة إكس لماذا لا تُعلنون رفض منح التأشيرات لعدد كبير من أعضاء الجهاز الإداري والتنفيذي والمستشارين الفنيين وغيرهم ممن يُعدّون جزءا لا يتجزأ من أي منتخب وطني لكرة القدم؟، في إشارة إلى إعلان سابق للسفير الأميركي لدى تركيا توم براك بمنح تأشيرات دخول للاعبين.
وأضافت السفارة لقد صعّدتم الآن المعاملة التمييزية المتعمدة ضد المنتخب الإيراني لكرة القدم إلى أعلى مستوياتها.

India name Sooryavanshi in T20 squad, Suryakumar fired as captain
Mumbai, India: India named Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in their T20 squad on Saturday, handing the 15-year-old sensation his maiden international call-up after a string of breathtaking performances in the domestic league. h-doctor.club
Selectors also fired Suryakumar Yadav as captain following a poor run of form, just three months after he led the country to World Cup glory at home.
Shreyas Iyer, who last played a T20 for India in December 2023, was named as the new skipper for the upcoming two T20 internationals in Ireland, five matches in England and the Asian Games to be held in September and October in Japan.
Teenager Sooryavanshi seized the limelight with his stellar showings in the Indian Premier League, which ended last week.
Playing for Rajasthan Royals, he topped the batting charts with 776 runs -- including one hundred, and five half-centuries -- and was named the IPL's most valuable player.
The left-handed opener could cap his stunning rise by becoming India's youngest-ever debutant, beating Sachin Tendulkar who played his first Test at 16 years and 205 days in 1989.
The change of captaincy was expected after Suryakumar struggled with the bat at the World Cup and in the IPL.
In the World Cup, he scored just 242 runs in nine innings, with his unbeaten 84 against the United States the only significant knock.

South Korea edge El Salvador 1-0 in final World Cup warm-up
Provo, United States: South Korea kept up their momentum ahead of the World Cup with a 1-0 win over El Salvador on Wednesday in their final friendly before the tournament begins next week.
Lee Dong-gyeong scored 10 minutes into the second half at their training base in Utah to give South Korea their second straight friendly win following a 5-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago last week.
Captain Son Heung-min started on the bench and came on five minutes after Lee had given South Korea the lead with a curling, left-footed free-kick.
The 33-year-old Son, who has faced growing questions about his faltering form after scoring only twice for his club Los Angeles FC this season, scored twice against Trinidad and Tobago.
It took his international tally to 56 goals in 144 games, two short of Cha Bum-kun's South Korea record.
South Korea will face the Czech Republic, South Africa and co-hosts Mexico in Group A and begin their campaign against the Czechs in Guadalajara on June 11.
