Nike To Stop Supplying Cleats For Iran’s World Cup Team

Due to recently reimposed economic sanctions against the country, Nike has announced it will no longer provide cleats for the Iranian national soccer team. The announcement comes just over a week before Iran plays their first World Cup match against Morocco. According to a report from Deadspin, Iran’s players have taken various steps to make sure they will be equipped to play with some asking non-Iranian players on their club teams to loan them cleats.
