The World Cup is supposed to bring people together. But in June 2026, FIFA plans to host matches in the United States, a country where travel from other nations is no longer safe. Through increased activity of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the U.S. government is terrorizing the very communities that popularized soccer in the United States. Masked ICE agents conduct raids that rip families apart and turn everyday life into a state of fear.
Sign the petition to FIFA President Gianni Infantino demanding that FIFA move all World Cup 2026 matches out of the United States.
To Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA
The FIFA World Cup depends on safe travel, equal treatment, and respect for human dignity. In 2026, FIFA plans to host matches in the United States, a country where travelers face heightened risk of detention, discrimination, lack of due process, and violence at the border and inside the country. These conditions undermine the basic requirements for a global sporting event.
The conditions currently present in the United States meet the same criteria governments use to issue Level 4: Do Not Travel advisories: a high risk of arbitrary detention, political violence, lack of due process, and state coercion.
The deployment of masked Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is terrorizing the very communities that popularized soccer in the United States. Since receiving the FIFA Peace Prize, the Trump administration bombed FIFA members Nigeria and Venezuela. It also threatened to attack World Cup 2026 qualifiers Mexico, Colombia, and Iran, and has threatened Denmark over Greenland.
The calls for a boycott of the FIFA World Cup 2026 are growing. As fans of the beautiful game, we wish to see the tournament held, but only if FIFA relocates all World Cup 2026 matches out of the United States. A global tournament cannot be hosted responsibly when entry into the host country is unsafe. A country that is bombing, threatening annexation of sovereign states, and destabilizing the entire world should not host World Cup matches.
