FIFA Gianni Infantino had declared before the World Cup in the United States: “Everyone will be welcome.” Now it turns out that this promise does not apply to everyone. As FAZ reports, the visa application of an Iranian fan activist was rejected by US authorities.
The activist apparently wanted to travel to the games to support the Iranian team. The rejection of her application makes clear that Infantino’s announcement is not being upheld. The US, as host of the World Cup, has the final say on the entry of fans.
