The World Health Organization (WHO) has assessed the risk of Ebola virus disease transmission to fans attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup as low. This assessment, delivered by Dr. Hans Henri P. Kluge, Regional Director for Europe, indicates no current cases of Ebola are present in the host countries – the United States, Canada, and Mexico – or in Europe. The WHO’s evaluation suggests a limited threat to public health related to the tournament. While vigilance remains important, the organization does not anticipate widespread infection. This announcement aims to reassure potential travelers and participants. Authorities will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed. The WHO emphasizes preparedness measures are in place should the situation change.
