The Trump administration is now appealing to reinstate the travel ban.
Iranian media reported on Sunday that the country has lifted its ban on U.S. wrestlers, allowing them to participate in the Freestyle World Cup later this month.
On Sunday a federal appeals court denied the Justice Department`s request for an immediate reinstatement of Trump`s ban on accepting certain travelers and refugees.
The wrestling competition will take place in the Iranian city of Kermanshah.
