Amnesty’s 2026 World Cup warning puts FIFA’s ‘human rights’ promise under the microscope

Amnesty International says the 2026 World Cup in the U.S., Mexico and Canada could expose fans, players and local communities to serious human-rights risks, with the sharpest concerns centered on U.S. immigration enforcement. The report challenges FIFA and host authorities to prove the tournament can be staged without turning stadium perimeters and host cities into stages for intimidation.
