Amnesty Warns 2026 World Cup Could Become Stage for Repression

Published March 30, 2026 · Updated March 30, 2026 · The Guardian

Amnesty International has warned that the 2026 World Cup, hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico, could become a stage for repression. The report urges FIFA and the host nations to take urgent action to protect fans, players and communities.

Amnesty International’s report “Humanity Must Win” warns that the 2026 World Cup, spread across the US, Canada and Mexico, risks becoming a stage for repression. The organization calls on FIFA and the host countries to protect fans, players and other communities.

While FIFA pledged a tournament where everyone “feels safe, included and free to exercise their rights”, Amnesty says that pledge contrasts sharply with conditions in the host nations, especially the US, which will host three‑quarters of the 104 matches.
