Amnesty International has issued a stark warning that the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 could be exploited as a platform for human rights violations and political repression. The human rights organization expressed concerns about potential restrictions on freedom of expression, assembly, and movement during the tournament. The warning comes as preparations intensify for the joint hosting by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with Amnesty calling on FIFA to implement stronger human rights safeguards and monitoring mechanisms to protect fans, journalists, and activists throughout the competition.
