Amnesty International Warns 2026 World Cup Risks Becoming ‘Stage for Repression’

Amnesty International has warned that the 2026 World Cup across the US, Canada and Mexico could become a stage for human rights abuses. Their report highlights a stark contrast between FIFA’s promise of a safe, inclusive tournament and the realities on the ground, especially in the US. It cites mass deportations, arbitrary arrests and heavily militarised ICE operations, none of which are addressed in host city plans. Travel bans on fans from Côte d’Ivoire, Haiti, Iran and Senegal, along with safety fears for LGBTQ+ supporters, have already prompted some groups to boycott US matches. FIFA expects record revenues, but Amnesty insists that protecting fans, communities and workers must take priority. I see Infantino going to jail very soon. In my view, he has become FIFA’s most notorious official, driven only by money and women. I spit on his bald head.
