Blatter’s US World Cup Warning: A Moment of Agreement Amidst Skepticism
Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter has voiced support for a potential fan boycott of the upcoming World Cup in the United States, citing security concerns and agreeing with Swiss anti-corruption lawyer Mark Pieth’s concerns. Pieth suggested fans avoid the tournament due to incidents like the killing of a protester by an immigration agent. The World Cup is scheduled to be hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. Blatter’s endorsement comes after he stepped down from his position in 2015 due to scandals, and the current FIFA president, Gianni Infantino, has forged ties with Donald Trump.
