With just under two months until the start of the 2026 World Cup, it seems that FIFA executives have finally looked up at the horizon, seen the looming shitstorm, and are now scrambling to head it off. The Athletic reported on Tuesday that top FIFA heads have sought to convince Gianni Infantino to make a “president-to-president” appeal to Donald Trump and ask if he can find it in his heart of hearts to give his ICE jackboots a summer vacation.
Specifically, the idea FIFA wants Infantino to run by Trump is that there be a full moratorium on ICE activities in the United States for the 39-day duration of the World Cup. From The Athletic’s report:
“The Athletic has been told Infantino informed senior FIFA management he was receptive to this idea and he would seek to make a president-to-president ask of Trump to reduce ICE’s role during the tournament. […] It is not known at this stage whether Infantino has yet made the request, or if he will follow through on it, or indeed whether the White House would be prepared to countenance such a request regarding domestic policy in the United States from FIFA.”
First the Qatar monstrosity and then they chose a worse place.
The pointless and senseless war is fine, though.
Give him a “I opened the straight of Hormuz” prize in glittering gold.
“…Gianni Infantino to appeal to…”
Well everyone knows that the orange paedo loves an ‘appealing’ infant.Though usually the infants are pleading to not be raped by that obese thing and it’s rape buddies.
infantino is probably more corrupt than trump.
I don’t think that’s possible 🤣🤣
The Iranian team is supposed to be playing in my city very soon, so yes, for the sake of our economy, do that. The city has spent way too much money preparing for this thing.
Oh wait, we’re lefty.
The city has spent way too much money preparing for this thing.
FIFA and the Olympics scam every city to spend way too much money for their events.
Oh, I know. I have disapproved of the whole thing from the beginning.
