    “Don’t go – not with Trump in charge. It’s totally out of control over there. There’s no accountability. They don’t seem to need a reason for detaining you. […] I worry about young people going out there for the World Cup – I really do. I imagine a group of young guys getting drunk at a game, getting arrested. I could see them easily ending up in the same place as I did. They’d find some reason to detain them. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anybody.” - Mrs. Newton, 65, was on holiday in the USA w a British passport and a tourist visa

    “Florida is no longer a safe destination for international tourists. With the FIFA World Cup 2026 coming to Miami, travelers may face unprecedented risks of racial profiling, wrongful detention in inhumane conditions without consular access, and heinous human rights violations—regardless of legal travel status.” - https://floridaimmigrant.org/fifa-26-travel-advisory

      Please DO GO!

      There are lots of great games in Canada and Mexico, and both countries are amazing places to visit

      Of course you do want to skip all US based matches, it would be like going to the Olympics in Berlin 1936.
