Again, the problem isn't even "read this if you like, some of it is pretty good."
The problem is the implication "how can you (a) NOT read this and (b) prefer ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING else?" 4/n
This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.

HOW is a nation that bid to host the World Cup ALLOWED to not admit all the participants in the country? HOW isn't this a PREREQUISITE to let you host the whole thing? What are we even talking about?
-Shootings near the England camp
-Japan having to move twice due to terrible facilities
-Players and refs can't even get into the country
-The ball doesn't bounce on the pitches
-$150 trains to get to stadiums that aren't fit for purpose
They've had 8 years prep for this 😭
Nearly 100 fans from Morocco applied to go the USA.
The US blocked nearly 90% of their applications.
This is the most racist World Cup ever and it should be boycotted by everyone, the USA is refusing to let non-white people come.
ABD, İsviçreli Embolo'ya vize vermedi. İncelemeye alındı, günler sonra takıma katılabildi.
İran Milli Takımı günlerce Ankara'da konsolosluk önünde vize için beklemek zorunda kaldı. ABD sadece maç günleri ülkeye giriş yapma şartıyla verdi. Arka planda çalışan 15 kişiye vize verilmedi.
Irak Milli Takım oyuncusu, ABD'ye gitti, ancak 7 saate yakın sorguda tutuldu. Sonrasında ülkeye girişine izin verildi.
Afrika'da 2025 yılının en iyi hakemi seçilen ve turnuvada görev alacak olan Omar Artan'a vize verilmedi. Somali kendisine diplomatik pasaport verdi ve ABD'ye uçtu, ancak girişine izin verilmedi ve ülkesine gönderildi.
Güney Afrika Milli Takımı kafilenin yarısına vize verilmediği için planlanandan çok sonra ABD'ye gidebildi.
Birleşik Krallık vatadaşlarının ESTA sistemine kayıt olmaları halinde 90 gün vizesiz ABD'ye giriş hakları olmasına rağmen İskoç taraftarların vizeleri günler kala iptal edildi.
Biletlerini alan otellerde yerini ayırtan ABD vizeleri reddedildi. Paraları da yandı.
Dört yılda bir yapılan bir turnuvanın başlamadan içine ettiniz beyler! @FIFAWorldCup@FIFAcom
This is the absurdity people warned about.
How are journalists meant to cover a multi-country WC if following a team to Canada or Mexico means they may not be allowed back into the US?
It’s discriminatory, impractical, and completely undermines the idea of a global tournament.
when the travel ban targeting 39 countries (19 fully, including somalia) was first published, there was a provision thrown in about exempting world cup + olympic personnel to quell outrage. this admin takes you for a fool
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to referee at the World Cup, was denied entry to the United States.
He received a diplomatic passport from the Somali embassy but was turned away upon his arrival.
Omar Artan was elected Best African Referee in 2025.
He is only 33 years old. This is the biggest moment of his career. He’s probably been waiting for it for months.
But who will talk about it? There are 48 teams, hundreds of players, and representatives from all over the world. Who will finally speak up?
The manosphere influencer Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, moved to Romania a decade ago to build an online-pornography empire. They kept their recruits in a development north of Bucharest known as American Village. “I’ve done this with over 100 girls,” Andrew said, about compelling women into sex work. “I almost sound evil. But I’m not.” In 2022, their compound was raided by armed police, and a SWAT team was deployed to take the women in the villa into protective custody. Since then, the brothers have faced ongoing investigations into allegations of human trafficking and sexual exploitation, though they have yet to face trial.
The Tates agreed to meet with Heidi Blake for her investigation for The New Yorker. During her visit, the brothers strenuously denied that they had ever hurt a woman. “I’ve never done anything wrong in my life,” Andrew said. He insisted that none of the women he employed had accused him of crimes, adding, “They’re still my friends.” By the time police raided his properties, he said, “the webcam business—which, by the way, is not illegal—had been closed for ten years.” But that account is starkly contradicted by the accounts of more than a dozen women, who described being groomed, trafficked, or sexually assaulted by the Tates—as well as by thousands of leaked messages and the brothers’ own persistent boasts to their friends and followers.

Ireland is battling a PR nightmare over its continued sales of alumina to Russia.
The scandal comes as Dublin prepares to take the reins of the EU Council presidency.
Here's what's happening.
