German Soccer Official Mulls World Cup Boycott Over Trump Concerns
A German soccer federation executive committee member, Oke Göttlich, has suggested the possibility of a World Cup boycott due to the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump, citing concerns over Trump’s actions in Europe. Göttlich’s comments come amid worries over high ticket prices and travel bans. He stated that the potential threat is greater than in the 1980s and that the federation should defend its values, despite potential resistance from federation president Bernd Neuendorf and FIFA president Gianni Infantino. Göttlich also dismissed concerns that a boycott would impact national team players.
