FIFA reviews 6 million posts on 2026 World Cup racism
The International Federation of Football (FIFA) announced a significant rise in abusive and racist comments across social media platforms during the group stage matches of the 2026 World Cup, analyzing over 6 million posts and comments—an increase of up to 33% compared to the 2022 World Cup. The report revealed the detection of approximately 89,000 offensive posts, 11% of which were racist, and the removal of more than 181,000 comments inciting hate, with investigations opened against around 1,000 users. This surge poses a psychological threat to players' safety and well-being, as racism constitutes the largest category of recorded abuse.
