The head of the Palestinian Football Association has said he was not granted a US visa to travel for World Cup-related events, as questions continue over entry permissions for several accredited football officials.

Jibril Rajoub, who is currently in Mexico City, said he is awaiting clearance to enter the United States along with other federation representatives attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He attended the opening match between Mexico and South Africa on Thursday. �"AFP
