Canada Stops Iran Football Leader
Introduction
Canada did not let the president of Iran's football group enter the country. This makes it hard for Iran to play in the World Cup.
Main Body
Mehdi Taj is the president of Iran's football group. He went to Toronto for a big meeting. Canada stopped him because he was in a special military group. Canada says this group is dangerous.
