Amnesty International has released a comprehensive report warning that the 2026 FIFA World Cup, set to be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, could become a platform for human rights violations and systematic repression. The human rights organization highlights significant concerns regarding the tournament’s potential impact on civil liberties, immigrant communities, and marginalized groups across the three host nations. The report emphasizes the need for FIFA and the organizing committees to implement robust human rights safeguards and monitoring mechanisms to prevent the World Cup from being used as a tool for authoritarian practices or discriminatory policies.
