Amnesty International, alongside dozens of American civil and human rights groups, has issued an unusual travel advisory ahead of the summer’s tournament in the United States.
Their message is a serious one: concerns are growing over rising authoritarianism, increasing violence, and what they call a deteriorating human rights situation.
The groups say the warning became necessary because, in their view, there have been no meaningful guarantees from FIFA, host cities, or the U.S. government to address these concerns.
A major sporting event should unite the world — but can football truly be celebrated when human rights worries are in the spotlight?
What do you think: should FIFA have done more before the tournament?
