Este vídeo me hizo mierda. Refugiados, aún lejos de su casa por la guerra en el Este de la RDC, celebraron el empate de su selección. Mira dónde puede estar la felicidad de los pueblos más sufridos. Cómo van a decir que es solo fútbol.
🚨🇮🇶 THIS IS THE STORY OF AYMEN HUSSEIN!
• His father was killed by Al Qaida.
• His brother was kidnapped and never found again.
• When he entered the USA for the World Cup, he was interrogated for 7 hours.
• He was very close to not being allowed to enter the country.
• And now he scores the 2nd goal in Iraq's World Cup history.
“My mum could not be here either for a visa issue, and the money we had to pay for it.”
This is genuinely sad. What FIFA and the U.S. have done in this WC should not be brushed off as just another tournament controversy. A historic disgrace.
🚩No cameras allowed during the trial.
🚩No Blacks allowed on the jury.
🚩No impartial judge.
🚩And a suspect defense lawyer.
The outcome was never truly in doubt. This wasn't a trial. It was a good old fashioned Texas lynching.
They kill our kids or send them to prison.
Maybe somebody can help me understand this.
A grown man #RickChow chased down a 14-year-old teenager #CyrusCarmackBelton and shot him in the back.
A teenager got jumped... was defending himself, and now he’ll spend years behind bars.
We are constantly told to trust the system, but too often the outcomes leave people shaking their heads.
If the facts were different, if the names were different, if the races were different, would the outcome be the same?
That’s not a rhetorical question. Because we just saw last week a Chinese man get away with murdering a Black boy.
I'm angry at this verdict.
Justice has NOT been served‼️
What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:
• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.
• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.
• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.
• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.
• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.
• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.
• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.
• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.
• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.
Pour rappel, les Etats-Unis 🇺🇸 accueilleront les Jeux olympiques en 2028, puis la Coupe du monde féminine de football en 2031 (avec le Costa Rica, Jamaïque et Mexique)
Dans un univers normal, sans un président de la FIFA lobbyiste des chefs d'Etat, l'instance du football mondial devrait retirer aux Etats-Unis la CDM féminine vu comme elle piétine le cahier des charges et les protocoles signés en tant que nation hôte de cette Coupe du Monde masculine
Nommé par la FIFA pour officier durant la Coupe du Monde, l'arbitre somalien 🇸🇴 Omar Artan s'est vu refuser l'entrée sur le territoire américain
Vu ses difficultés pour obtenir un visa, il avait bénéficié du soutien de l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi qui lui a notamment permis d'avoir un passeport diplomatique
Insuffisant pour les autorités américaines qui l'ont immédiatement renvoyé...
Pour rappel, Artan a dirigé la finale retour de Ligue des Champions de l'an dernier entre Pyramids FC et Mamelodi Sundowns tout en étant élu meilleur arbitre africain 2025 par la CAF
giving the world cup to the usa was a stupid decision.
this tournament was supposed to bring the world together. instead we’re talking about shootings, visa issues, travel restrictions and whether fans from certain countries will even be able to attend
Iraqi footballer Aymen Hussein issued a statement after being detained and questioned for seven hours upon entering the United States:
“If America is so hostile towards foreign nationals, why is it hosting the #2026WorldCup?”
Iraq national team player Aymen Hussein was detained and questioned by U.S. authorities for seven hours at Chicago Airport.
This disgrace is on you, @FIFAcom.
🚨JUST IN: The International Sports Press Association has told FIFA that "many" Iranian and African journalists have been denied visas to cover the World Cup in America
The incompetent @FIFAWorldCup host, USA, is failing to fulfill its responsibilities properly.
We are guests of @FIFAcom, and it is FIFA’s responsibility to ensure that visas for all members are issued.
