AFCON Senegal, Ivory Coast fans react to Trump’s World Cup 2026 travel bans
AI Summary
Fans of Senegal and Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco are expressing disappointment over travel bans imposed by the US ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026, which the US is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico. The Trump administration added these countries to a list with entry restrictions due to "screening and vetting deficiencies." The ban, implemented in December, effectively prevents fans without existing visas from traveling to the US for the tournament, scheduled for June and July. While players, team officials, and immediate relatives are exempt, no exceptions have been made for supporters. Fans from Iran and Haiti, also World Cup qualified, are similarly affected.
