AIBU to think World Cup visas problems are going to get worse with Olympic Games

[nicjoo]

The World Cup starts today. It’s had it various issues with not allowing a Somali referee to enter when has the right paperwork, Iran’s training base moved to Mexico, some players being questioned for many hours before they could enter the USA. There are others and will be more examples later.

Now in two years time the USA will be hosting the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. With these there around 150 more nations taking part than WC26. There are 10,700 participants in 2024 Paris. With WC26, there are around a quarter of participants, coaches, physios etc.

USA should not been hosting the World Cup due to its visa restrictions. The Olympics are going to have many more countries where visas are going to be extremely difficult to obtain.

Trump has ruined the WC26 with his visas and will do the same for the Olympics. He is Infantino (FIFA’s president) controller and wouldn’t surprise anyone if he went on Epstein’s island

Just looked at the numbers who claimed asylum or found another reason not to leave when uk hosted the Olympics and it was around 130. Out of 70,000 officials and visitors. That’s only around 1/4 of a bad day’s small boats crossings so not a huge risk

Would probably affect family and visitors more than the athletes. But YANBU.
