Iran was ordered to leave the U.S. and return to Mexico directly after their first match of the World Cup.
The team had expected to spend the night in California, but was told after their match that everyone must immediately get on a plane for the 140-mile trip back to Tijuana, Mexico.
Coach Amir Ghalenoei says the team was ordered to leave the U.S. but did not say why or who ordered them to leave earlier than planned.
"I think our team is perhaps the most oppressed in the World Cup."
