Members of the Iranian World Cup soccer team have been granted US visas, clearing them to enter the country ahead of matches near Los Angeles this month.
The team had moved its training base to Tijuana, Mexico, because of problems with processing the visas.
US officials speaking on condition of anonymity told AP that the way is now clear for them to enter the country.
Three US officials said players, coaches, trainers and some support staff received visas, but one official suggested some applicants affiliated with the team had been rejected for requesting visas "under false pretenses."
