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.

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?

This bald jerk ruined FIFA’s reputation the same guy who made up a fake FIFA Peace Prize for the Orange Fool. It’s time to boycott FIFA.

🚨ISRAEL RAPED A 13-YEAR OLD PALESTINIAN CHILD

When the US State Department complained to Israel's gov, the IDF raided the NGO that documented the case of rape, "removed their computers & declared them a TERRORIST ENTITY"

NEVER FORGET
Ten years before 7th October…

July 16, 2014, a man carrying an injured child and another lying dead on Gaza City's beach after an Israeli naval strike killed four Palestinian boys aged 9-11

ISRAEL INVESTIGATED AND CONCLUDED THE STRIKES TARGETED SUSPECTED
HAMAS OPERATIVES‼️

Infantino + @FIFAcom have offered unconditional support to the Genocidal Israeli Regime + US War Crimes showing that there's more politics in Football than in the European Parliament. Infantino + FIFA are a total disgrace...

In 2023 Indonesia refused to give the Israeli U23 team visas.

FIFA instantly stripped them of the tournament and moved it to Argentina.

Strip the USA and move it solely to Canada, Mexico and Brazil.

[Mary Lou McDonald @MaryLouMcDonald]

Ireland must not play Israel at any venue - moving the game doesn’t address the reality that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

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.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

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.

Iranian Football Federation announces the 8% ticket quota allocated to Iran has been revoked by the U.S., leaving the federation currently unable to distribute tickets to supporters.

A case study in political interference, discrimination and FIFA looking the other way.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Good. Let's talk about Marwan Barghouti.

Imprisoned for 25 years.
An inter-Parliamentary Union report found he was not given a fair trial.

Nelson Mandela: “What is happening to Barghouti is exactly the same as what happened to me."

Free Marwan.

And after killing her, they threw Pancake themed parties where they made pancakes celebrating "turning her into a pancake". The Israeli depravity you see on display today is not new. It is not something that started on Oct 7th. It is how the Israeli society has always been!

🚨 WORST @FIFAcom PRESIDENT OF ALL TIME: INFANTINO SILENT AS US HUMILIATES AFRICA

Gianni Infantino selected Omar Abdulkadir Artan — Africa's top referee and first Somali at a World Cup — then watched US authorities deny him entry at the border despite diplomatic passport and approved visa. Turned back like trash. No reason. No fight.

Where is your voice, Infantino?

You preach "global football" and "unity" while selling out African officials to US border politics. This isn't leadership — it's cowardice and betrayal of the game.

You are proving every day why you are the worst FIFA president in history. Africa will not forget this disgrace.

Stand up or step down.

Vcs já pararam pra pensar que o atleta negro americano Jesse Owens entrou mais fácil na Alemanha Nazista para disputar as Olimpíadas de 1936 do que o atacante iraquiano Aymen Hussein para disputar a Copa de 2026 nos EUA?

Insane how 20 missiles from Iran is getting more attention in Western media than Zionists bombing Lebanon 3,500 times.

You cannot wear a Watermelon or Palestinian flag, but you can commit war crimes.

Make it make sense.
