Iran accuses US of 'sabotage' after World Cup tickets revoked

Iran has accused the United States of revoking its ticket allocation for the 2026 Fifa World Cup, calling the move an act of sabotage that has left fans stranded just days before the tournament begins.

The accusation comes as anticipation for the tournament builds, with the BBC releasing its official wallchart on 2 June to help fans study the fixtures. "The wait is almost over!" the broadcaster said, urging supporters to download the chart and "keep track of the results".
