Years after the Tigray conflict families still haven't been told if their children are alive or dead. #EndTheSilence #EndTheSuffering #BlueRevolution @martinplaut @KjetilTronvoll @MehariMeng53005 @pen_int @amnesty @JasonPoblete @UNHumanRights @cnni @RefugeesIntl @INTHESOOP_TV

@TouchlineX He obviously has feeling and connection for his roots, Tunisia, and he probably grew up and was educated in Sweden. Not strange he had two choose one, and that doesn't take away his feeling for Tunisia. It's not Strange, please understand him. Don't be narrow nationalists

🚨 BREAKING: Jamie Carragher blasts FIFA and Canada over Thomas Partey visa controversy

"This is an absolute disgrace from a tournament planning point of view. You spend years building towards a World Cup, qualifying, preparing squads, getting everything right — and then something like this happens days before kickoff. It’s just not acceptable at this level of football."

"If Thomas Partey is part of Ghana’s plans and has been cleared to be in the squad, then how does it get to a point where a visa issue knocks him out of the opening game against Panama? That’s not football, that’s administration failure."

"I don’t care who is responsible — FIFA, Canada, immigration — someone has to take accountability. You cannot tell fans to invest emotionally in a tournament and then allow situations where key players are missing because paperwork wasn’t sorted in time."

"At the very least, these issues should be resolved weeks before the first match. It’s unfair on the player, it’s unfair on Ghana, and it damages the integrity of the competition. This is exactly the kind of chaos that should never happen at a World Cup."

Jornalista da BBC demolindo o presidente da FIFA, Infantino: “Você está envergonhado com o que está acontecendo nesta Copa do Mundo??Você não deveria admitir que perdeu o controle do torneio?”.

[Ephrem Tewelde @ephremtewelde]

Could this be classified as the worst #worldcup ever before it even started? Travel denials, fan denials, now transport to and from stadia rejected by USA.

It's embarrassing for the US to prevent a FIFA accredited Somali referee from entering our country. If we accept hosting the World Cup, we need to welcome teams, officials, and fans from all nations. This is the "world" cup - not the "European" cup!

🚨|🎙️ Ian Wright has slammed the situation unfolding ahead of the World Cup:

🗣️ “I'm really laughing… but this isn't funny. Tickets are exorbitant, travel costs are high, and visas are being rejected… Is this how a host behaves?” 👀🇺🇸

“We saw how Qatar was criticized… and now? I don't hear a thing!”

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.

[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.

🚨 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.

@JacobsBen FIFA is a disgrace for allowing USA to host this World Cup
