Amnesty International has raised significant concerns regarding potential human rights issues in the United States ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The human rights organization has expressed alarm over what they describe as a deteriorating human rights situation under the Trump administration, which could impact the upcoming tournament. The 2026 World Cup is set to be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, marking the first time three nations will co-host the prestigious football tournament. With matches scheduled across multiple American cities, Amnesty International’s warning highlights potential challenges related to civil liberties, immigration policies, and treatment of international visitors and workers. The organization’s statement comes as preparations for the world’s largest sporting event continue, raising questions about how political developments might affect the tournament’s execution and the safety of participants and spectators from around the globe.
