2026 World Cup Affected by Visa and Ticket Issues
The 2026 World Cup officially kicked off in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, marking the biggest tournament in history with an increase to 48 teams, and expected record revenues reaching up to $13 billion. The tournament faced criticism over ticket prices, with some tickets exceeding $30,000, while some lower-priced tickets were available for $60. It was emphasized that these prices are still lower compared to American sports events. Additionally, the tournament encountered a visa crisis after Somali referee Omar Artan was barred from entering the United States. The participation of Iran also led to tensions with the United States.
