Amnesty issues travel advisory for 2026 World Cup in U.S.

sportsMay 3, 202634212

Amnesty International and allied human-rights groups issued a travel advisory for visitors to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, saying the country has a "deteriorating human rights situation". The advisory targets fans, players, journalists and other visitors and cites specific risks including immigration enforcement, detention and deportation, policing practices, and laws restricting LGBTQ and reproductive rights while saying FIFA, host cities and the US government have not provided concrete guarantees. Amnesty urges travelers to take precautions and calls on organizers and authorities to provide binding protections, a move that could shape attendance decisions, team logistics and international scrutiny of the tournament.
