The Issue

The United States of America has been chosen to host the 2026 World Cup, a game that embodies unity, camaraderie, and international fellowship. However, the current policies of the U.S., specifically their ban on certain countries and intrusive interventions by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), are in stark contrast to the values represent by this global sporting event. The alarming levels of illegal incarcerations of travelers by ICE, as reported by the American Civil Liberties Union, are imposing a shadow on this great event. With over 20,000 complaints of ICE's inhumane practices filed in the past two years alone, it signifies a profound disregard for basic human rights. This is not what the World Cup stands for. By permitting a nation under such policies to host the event, we are essentially turning a blind eye to these pressing issues. This petition calls upon FIFA to reconsider the hosting rights for the 2026 World Cup, and award it to a deserving country that upholds and respects the principles of fairness, unity, and non-discrimination. Stand with us today, deny these practices, and preserve the essence of our beloved game. Sign this petition and let FIFA hear our voices.
