As the 2026 World Cup Draws to a Close, FIFA Must Account for Safety and Non-Discrimination Guarantees

Fair, predictable access to the territory

FIFA must state whether access to US territory was fair and predictable for players, delegations, journalists, workers, and supporters authorized to take part in or attend the tournament.

Absence of discriminatory treatment

The movement is asking for public confirmation that no discriminatory treatment based on nationality, origin, immigration status, appearance, religion, or political opinions occurred at borders or in host cities.

Protection against detention, interrogation, and abusive checks

An accounting is expected of any cases of arbitrary detention, abusive interrogation, harassment, or targeted checks reported during the tournament period.

Freedom of movement around competition venues

FIFA must clarify whether freedom of movement around competition venues, accommodation, and transport zones was genuinely ensured throughout the tournament.

Accessible, multilingual emergency mechanisms

The movement is asking what emergency mechanisms — accessible and available in multiple languages — were made available to people who were arrested, detained, questioned, or prevented from attending matches, and how often they were used.

Independent monitoring and accountability

An independent monitoring mechanism was meant to accompany the event. The movement is asking for its findings and recommendations to be published.

Contingency plan and corrective measures

If certain minimum guarantees were not met, FIFA must make public the corrective measures adopted or planned for future editions of the tournament.
