Sajad Imanian, a 26-year-old Iranian photographer, has made a name for himself by capturing significant moments in sports, including the Paris Olympics and the AFC Women's Asian Cup.
Despite his impressive portfolio and connections within the sports community, including interactions with renowned figures like Jürgen Klopp, Imanian's nationality has led to his exclusion from the World Cup.
This incident highlights ongoing issues of discrimination and the impact of nationality on professional opportunities in the sports industry.
