Will the 2026 World Cup be a disaster for fans?

AI Summary

long article 4 min

The 2026 World Cup, hosted by the United States among other countries, faces challenges that could impact fan experience. Immigration difficulties and mass deportation raids have plagued the US throughout 2025, complicating travel for international fans. The absence of a fast-track visa process and unpredictable border rejections add to these issues. Climate concerns and high ticket prices further complicate matters. President Trump's policies have banned citizens from certain countries, potentially barring fans from attending matches. Mass deportation raids by ICE in major cities, some hosting World Cup games, pose additional risks for visitors. The tournament’s final schedule remains unclear until the December 5 draw, leaving many fans uncertain about their ability to attend.
