Amnesty Warns US Travel Restrictions Could Block Fans From 2026 World Cup
(MENAFN) Amnesty International has cautioned that US immigration and travel policies could prevent thousands of football supporters from attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to reports, the rights organization said many fans worldwide have spent years preparing and saving money for the tournament, yet some may encounter significant obstacles when attempting to enter the United States.
“Instead of cheering from the stands, many are facing travel bans, visa denials, and threats of aggressive immigration enforcement from the US,” Amnesty International said.
The group noted that a number of nations participating in the competition are subject to US travel restrictions. It also argued that concerns over racial profiling and the possibility of arbitrary immigration-related arrests could deter supporters from making the trip.
According to reports, Amnesty warned that such measures could conflict with the inclusive spirit of the World Cup, an event widely viewed as a celebration that brings people from different countries and cultures together.
