No Club World Cup in the US for Mehdi Taremi due to travel ban

The Iranian forward won’t join Chivu’s squad for the Club World Cup: travel from Iran is currently impossible due to escalating tensions in the region

No Club World Cup in the United States for Mehdi Taremi. 

There was already serious concern in recent hours, and now Gazzetta.it via Fcinter1908 has confirmed the news: the Iranian striker will not be able to join Cristian Chivu’s team.

"Taremi will miss the Club World Cup. The Iranian forward won’t be traveling with the Nerazzurri squad—neither for the opening match nor for the following ones.

Not only is air travel impossible due to closed airspace, but overland travel is also deemed too risky. 

The ongoing war with Israel has just begun, and its consequences remain unpredictable. In such a context, football takes a backseat.

Inter Milan tried everything, but safety comes first

Over the last 24 hours, Inter Milan has been in close contact with Iranian authorities in Italy to support the player and explore any possible solution. 

However, as of now, there is none. Taremi remains in Tehran, in a safe location, away from the bombings," the article reads.
