Blatter Suggests Fans Should Avoid US World Cup Due to Safety and Political Concerns
Former FIFA President Sepp Blatter has joined a growing chorus of international figures advocating for a fan boycott of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, citing concerns over the policies of the Trump administration. These concerns include travel bans, aggressive immigration enforcement tactics, and other actions deemed to be against human rights. Blatter’s call for a boycott mirrors those of other football officials and political leaders across the globe. These calls have been made in both Europe and Africa with the UK and South Africa expressing interest in boycotts.
