Growing frustration surrounds the World Cup as African fans, referees, and journalists encounter significant difficulties obtaining US visas, reportedly due to the Trump-era visa policies still in effect. These obstacles are preventing many from traveling to attend matches and participate in the tournament. The delays and denials are sparking outrage across the African continent, with accusations of humiliation and discrimination. Criticism is also mounting against FIFA President Gianni Infantino, perceived as failing to adequately address the issue and advocate for those affected. Many feel Infantino has not prioritized the concerns of African stakeholders. The situation threatens to overshadow the sporting event and highlights broader geopolitical tensions. The visa problems are impacting media coverage and the overall experience for African representation at the World Cup.
