What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.

The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.

NEW @TheAthleticFC

Infantino floats in & out of the Oval Office, hangs out with Trump officials, squeezes host cities for cash & cloaks FIFA in MAGA.

Now, FIFA wants to be considered powerless.

Free to read column on Gianni’s visa disasterclass.

[Miguel Delaney @MiguelDelaney]

The visa story is the most telling controversy this World Cup has had

Fifa is going against its own rules and precedent

Should it even be held in a state that clearly doesn't see it as a World Cup

What was the point of Infantino's cravenness to Trump?

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas

Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.

🇮🇪 Ireland must not play Israel as Palestinian people endure Israeli genocide, occupation and apartheid. On Tuesday, Sinn Féin bring a motion before the Dáil to support calls to #StopTheGame.

Ireland must take a stand. The FAI must take a stand. Government must take a stand.
#StopTheGame #FreePalestine

[Vikram Chandra @vikramchandra]

This will clearly affect Iran’s ability to play the World Cup on an equal footing.

Imagine the furore if any other country had done this while hosting a major global sporting event.

Palestinian woman in the West Bank is arrested by Israeli police under a new terror law that outlaws passive social media use because she shows sympathy to what’s happening in Gaza.

She may spend up to 1 year in prison. Israel is a deeply depraved society.

"What's happening in Gaza is a Holocaust and what's being designed by the Israel government is the final solution to the Palestinian problem. As a Holocaust survivor my reaction is not in my name."

I am more than familiar with Palestine history during the British occupation -its crimes and legacy - and yet. Watching #Palestine36 was a gut-wrenching experience.

Gentle as it can be, Palestinian storytelling cannot hide the horror of the crimes Palestinians have endured.

This is BJP spokesperson Nazia openly calling for apartheid & discrimination against Muslims

You are a despicable person. You are literally the modern equivalent of a Holocaust denier.

Lynching mobs.
Pogroms.
Genocidal acts.
Racism.
Suprematism.
Absolute impunity.

The failure of the post-WWII system in a nutshell.

ICE detain leading scorer for Iraq soccer team—interrogate him for 7 hours.

Inspect his phone & perform body search—he was just entering U.S. with teammates for World Cup.

Team's official photographer denied entry altogether—and sent back to Iraq for "classified information."

Aymen Hussein is Iraq's star striker and all-time leading scorer.

Fans were waiting to cheer the team on as they arrived at the airport in the early hours of the morning with Iraqi flags.

Customs and Border Protection released the following statement in response:
"All travelers seeking entry into the United States, including athletes, coaches, and staff, are subject to inspection and vetting. Admissibility determinations are made on a case-by-case basis."

Incident occurred at Chicago O'Hare International Airport in Illinois.

La seleccion de fútbol de Irán llegó a México, donde se alojará durante el Mundial. Si bien jugará todos sus partidos en EEUU, Trump les negó hospedaje y los obliga a salir del país apenas termine cada encuentro. La FIFA aceptó ese acto de mal anfitrión.

[yang goi @GongR1ght]

Norway said that they are not going to play in World Cup in Qatar even if they qualified (they didn’t). Denmark left it until the last minute to confirm their participation in the World Cup 2022Germany forced their players to make political statements before the match in FIFA WC 2022 even though some players didn’t want to do it.

BBC literally disrupted the coverage of one of the best opening ceremonies of the World Cup in Qatar just for virtue signaling.

but for World Cup 2026, the whole media is silent other than a few token articles here and there and Norway and Germany aren’t protesting anything when there’s so much to protest about 🤡

[Joy Bhattacharjya @joybhattacharj]

This is ridiculous. Part of the guarantees that all FIFA World Cup hosts have to sign is the free movement of all participating teams and officials through the hosting counties. I know this because it was part of the guarantees the Indian government had to sign before hosting the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2017.
This sounds like a last minute compromise where the US could not outright refuse Iran, but still needed to save face and make it as difficult as possible for them.
That is an unfair disadvantage for Iran and should be condemned by all football lovers.

[kah @kabiscoiteira]

A FIFA está com um problemão para resolver: o governo dos EUA proibiu que iranianos durmam no país: “ Como garantir a isonomia da competição se uma seleção sequer pode dormir em um dos países-sede?” E agora, como fica essa situação?
