US World Cup faces value concerns
The 2026 World Cup, hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, has revealed a crisis of values characterized by visa issues and politically motivated security activities. It has also faced multiple criticisms regarding discriminatory treatment between delegations and the absence of the humanitarian spirit that the tournament is supposed to embody. Conversely, the 2022 Qatar edition successfully presented an image reflecting coexistence and cultural openness, reinforcing the idea that sports can be a space for communication and understanding between peoples—far from politics and conflicts. The world's biggest event raises the question of whether sports can maintain its neutrality amid tense international politics, especially with increasing challenges related to borders and identities as major countries host such events.
