This is my problem with FIFA.
If the USA denied Artan entry, Canada and Mexico are also co-hosting the FIFA World Cup.
Instead of removing him from the tournament altogether, FIFA could have assigned him to officiate matches in Canada or Mexico and have him depart from there.
That would have been a practical solution rather than dropping him entirely.
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.
was asking my husband if he cared about the baby shower theme and he was like what is that? do you mean like space or like mafia themed? and now he wont let go of the mafia idea. he says the invitations would say "welcome a new member of the family" and we could do italian food
El gobierno de EEUU prohibió toda venta de boletería del Mundial a iraníes, no importa si llevan 30 años viviendo en otra parte, no importa nada: los iraníes no entran y punto. Cuando Indonesia quiso hacer esto con Israel en el Mundial Sub20 2023, la FIFA le quitó la sede
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.
Por reglamentación, las selecciones deben estar en la ciudad sede del partido mínimo 48 hrs previo al mismo. Algo fundamental para el trabajo de reconocimiento de cancha, descanso adecuado y aclimatación. La FIFA le permite a EEUU pasarse sus propias reglas por el fundillo.
Qué padre lo del desfile de Día de Muertos en junio para complacer extranjeros. Si quieren también salimos con sombrero y zarape para completarles su fantasía 🤩
