Why We Must Boycott the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA!

Gastbeitrag von Liz Cheney und Adam Kinzinger*

As the world prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, co-hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico, it is crucial to consider the implications of supporting an event held in a country under the leadership of Donald Trump. The administration’s policies and actions have raised significant concerns about the safety and well-being of participants and attendees, making a boycott a necessary and powerful statement against fascism.
The Trump administration’s harsh immigration policies and discriminatory practices pose a real threat to the safety of players, their families, and fans attending the World Cup. Long visa appointment wait times and stringent regulations could prevent many soccer enthusiasts from entering the USA, particularly those from Central and South American countries . The administration’s history of detaining and deporting individuals without due process raises serious concerns about the treatment of visitors during the event.
Boycotting the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches in the USA is not just about protesting the Trump administration’s policies; it is about standing in solidarity with those affected by its oppressive actions. By refusing to participate in or attend matches held in the USA, we send a clear message that we will not support a regime that promotes division, discrimination, and human rights violations. This boycott can also serve as a catalyst for broader international pressure on the Trump administration to change its policies and respect the rights of all individuals.
A boycott of the 2026 FIFA World Cup matches in the USA has the potential to bring about significant change. By uniting in our refusal to support the event, we can demonstrate the power of collective action and send a strong message to the international community. This boycott can also serve as a reminder that sporting events should not be used as tools to legitimize oppressive regimes or distract from their abuses.

* Die republikanischen Abgeordneten Liz Cheney und Adam Kinzinger waren die einzigen Republikaner, die im Untersuchungsausschuss zum Sturm auf das US-Kapitol am 6. Januar 2021 mitarbeiteten. Am 4. Februar 2022 tadelte ein Parteitag der US-Republikaner die beiden formell dafür. Seitdem gelten Sie als die beiden größten Kritiker von Donald Trump in der Republikanischen Partei.
