Calls to Boycott 2026 World Cup Surge After Trump-FIFA Scandal

FIFA President Gianni Infantino skipped his own congress to meet with Donald Trump in Qatar and Saudi Arabia – sparking a walkout by European officials. Now some are even suggesting the unthinkable – a boycott of the 2026 World Cup. 

Critics say the relationship between Trump and Infantino highlights corruption and deep ties to authoritarian regimes, with UEFA accusing Infantino of abusing power for political gain. 

Angry statements have little to no affect on the way that Infantino and/or Trump behave. That’s why increasingly people are calling for more radical action and to hit Trump and Infantino where it hurts: their wallet.

That includes a partial boycott of the 2026 World Cup, with countries refusing to play games in the US, and insisting all matches switch to co-hosts Canada and Mexico.
