So Russia is banned from FIFA because of their invasion of Ukraine, but America is allowed to HOST THE FIFA GAMES WHILE BOMBING IRAN???

HOW DOES THAT WORK?????

[Iya M. @imassah]

Do not host the WORLD CUP if you don’t like people from the WORLD. Simple!!!

Don't host a World Cup if you don't want people to come to your country.

If Russia is banned from the World Cup for attacking Ukraine, why isn’t the United States banned for attacking Iran?

And where is this TRAITOR ORGANISATION? Why hasn't it said anything about these insults towards African officials and Teams? CORRUPT/ROTTEN TO THE CORE!

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

If FIFA had any integrity-- clearly it does not-- it would suspend the World Cup matches in the US until it stopped this disgraceful madness

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.

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!

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.

[Téjúwàràbíekùn @tejuolofa]

@BBCSport FIFA should be ashamed
World Cup has no business in the United States

[LoopCat @JohnSmithu5mx]

@BBCSport I wonder if someone misread referee as refugee and sadly I’m not even joking. 🙃

[WajirsTweep @WajirTweep]

@BBCSport Farcical decision by @FIFAcom to host the World Cup in a racist, discriminative country. The US denied Omar entry just because of surname and nothing else.

Buddy, its been explained, you're just too stupid to understand.

Slope management. The slope would be too steep. So steep that some heavy trucks won’t be able to make it. Not to mention the safety implications on the way down on break performance.
