As the 2026 FIFA World Cup is underway, it is important to acknowledge a lesser-known issue surrounding major sporting events.
Research suggests that large tournaments and high-profile matches can be associated with increases in reported gender-based violence.
The World Cup gave Mexican artists a global stage, and they used it to speak for the 130,000 who cannot. Activist football shirts bearing the faces of the disappeared are a reminder that no amount of spectacle can silence a community. 🙏🌍⚽ #CallItOffside #TheStrongSide

Mexican artists and collectives are making activist football shirts bearing anarchist symbols, Zapatista imagery and references to 130,000 disappeared persons, protesting FIFA, gentrification & state violence during the 2026 World Cup.

Visa restrictions. Protests. Discrimination. These are not side issues to this World Cup, they are part of its story whether FIFA acknowledges it or not. #CallItOffside #TheStrongSide #InclusiveFootball #FWC26 @FIFAcom
Bloodstains on the Pitch: FIFA 2026 in an Age of Fascism

As FIFA 2026 unfolds across the United States, Canada and Mexico, debates over war, immigration policies, discrimination, commercialisation and political protest have accompanied the tournament. This article examines visa restrictions affecting players and officials, growing criticism from activists and supporters, and the ways spectators and athletes have used football platforms to express dissent. Drawing on historical examples and recent developments, it argues that the World Cup has become a site where broader conflicts and social struggles are increasingly reflected beyond the game itself.
Grateful to see this vital message spreading ahead of the World Cup. Protecting children from sexual violence is not a side conversation, it has to be part of the game itself. This issue knows no borders and the response has to be just as unified. #CallItOffside #TheStrongSide
📣 Protecting children is part of the game! ⚽ Join @adultxs in spreading the word during the 2026 World Cup!
🌍 Childhood sexual violence affects children and adolescents across borders. To tackle it, we must play as a team✊

Whatever's driving tension in the stands, it has no place at a football match. Every fan deserves to enjoy the game without fear, and incidents like this are exactly why de-escalation and crowd safety planning matter at every single venue. #TheStrongSide #CallItOffside
Fan brawl breaks out in the stands during the Iran–New Zealand FIFA World Cup match in #LosAngeles (the fight was most likely over political disagreements, not the result of the game).
Mostly peaceful soccer fans enjoying a match.

Stadium security gets the headlines. Times Square just proved that public squares, watch parties and street celebrations need just as much planning behind them. #FanSafety #TheStrongSide #SaferStadiumsSaferCommunities #CallitOffside
No había habido ningún tipo de problema entre aficiones en este Mundial hasta hoy.
Los argentinos y los argelinos se han pegado en Times Square.

Days after a Mexican fan was dismissed from his position for making a slant-eye gesture widely interpreted as a racist act to a South Korean influencer during a 2026 #FIFA #WorldCup match in #Mexico, netizens uncovered another alleged case of controversy, this time involving a South Korean student studying in China during her trip to Mexico for the tournament, according to a post shared on X on Tuesday. https://t.co/VURdQnwMwz
Tensions between nations are real and complicated, and football has never been fully separate from them. Still, the athletes representing their countries on that pitch deserve the chance to be seen as more than the politics surrounding them. #CallItOffside #TheStrongSide
When Iran’s national anthem was played at SoFi Stadium ahead of the Iran v. New Zealand game, the crowd booed loudly and didn’t let up. The World Cup match is coming on the heels of an Iran-U.S. interim peace agreement.
What happens behind the camera matters just as much as what happens in front of it. Violence at a World Cup broadcast is not an inconvenience, it is a safety failure that affects every single person at that event. They deserve better!🙏 #CallItOffside #TheStrongSide #FanSafety

The way we describe violence shapes how seriously we take it. "A little bit violently" is not a description of fan celebration, it is a dismissal of real harm done to real people. Language like this normalizes exactly what we should be working hardest to prevent. #CallItOffside
"They are expressing their happiness, a little bit violently, but it is what it is." - a World Cup bus was set alight and a teenager suffered a gunshot wound #RTESport #FIFAWorldCup https://t.co/DVHfo6q243
Law enforcement raising concerns about violence against women during the World Cup is exactly the kind of proactive conversation that saves lives. Please share this and check on the people around you throughout the tournament. 🙏 #CallItOffside #TheStrongSide #GBVPrevention

@king_tersoo Absolutely. The World Cup belongs to every nation every fan and every community, regardless of where they come from. Let's keep the beautiful game beautiful. ⚽🌍 #CallItOffside #TheStrongSide
@espn FIFA cannot dictate to governments, but it can advocate loudly for the people competing in its own tournament. Telling the world to chill and relax while players are being turned away at the border is a choice. #CallItOffside #TheStrongSide
