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.
Tem noite que não sai da camisa.
Quem é daqui sabe onde estava em 2019.
O branco também é Furacão.
A gente não esquece. A gente honra.
Jogo do Athletico começa antes da bola rolar.
Começa quando a gente separa a camisa. Quando arruma a mala. Quando o coração viaja antes da gente.
A Baixada vai junto, mesmo quando o jogo é longe.
Camisa branca, alma rubro-negra. 🔴⚫️
Nossa nova camisa OF. 2 chegou!
🌪️ Disponível a partir de hoje no https://t.co/uqebfz8ZkI, na Loja da Arena da Baixada e nos shoppings Palladium e São José.
