In 2023, Indonesia were stripped of the under-20 World Cup for refusing to allow the Israeli team entry.
Fifa's justification then was the vague "due to the current circumstances".
Quite a contrast to the hardline "FIFA is not involved in host immigration processes" now.
FAI are scumbags and cowards. The whole country is in favour of having the match cancelled and no one wants to watch that crap, yet they go and move it to turners cross?
The visa dynamics for the World Cup are really confusing.
Some African journalists given single entry visas to the US meaning if their team travels to play in Canada they can't come back to the USA
Its rather absurd

Somali referee Omar Artan, who was set to be the first from his country to officiate at the World Cup finals, has been denied entry to the United States.
Congratulations to Adam Brennan on making his senior Ireland debut against Canada ๐ฎ๐ช
A breakthrough moment and a proud occasion for Adam, his family and everyone at Shamrock Rovers.
