FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread

[beerlover]

I'm sure fans from the Middle East won't watch too much live at the 2026 World Cup later because they definitely won't feel comfortable when alcohol is allowed to drink freely by fans while watching live

Mutual respect for fellow fans is also very important, usually supporters from Latin America have slightly bad ethics and are very disturbing, I hope security can guarantee the safety of supporters who come from various ethnicities, races, cultures, religions

I am not sure if that's true. Latin American fans has been to plenty of world cups so far and never banned anyone from anything, whereas middle east hosted it just once and banned it a million times over. We are all aware that teams wanted to wear LGBT armbands to support them and it wasn't allowed right? I mean if you say that "you are in Qatar, so respect them" then why not give the respect back? It's their arm, it's their armband, if they want to do it and you do not allow them, then you do not respect their decision as well.

Expecting respect and not giving it back is the main problem. If Qatar do not want to allow LGBT people, then do not allow them, it's your nation, but if you stop other nations to support, that's disrespecting other nations and their decisions as well. So if you disrespect me and my decision, I am sorry but I will do the same to you as well. Latin American fans never did anything like that to anyone.

Regarding the preparation of these 3 Beautiful countries, I think they should do something that will leave us all stunned, because the World Cup in Qatar was very good.

The world cup in America, Canada, and Mexico will be amazing because I think these three countries have enough sports facilities and stadiums to host the world cup and they won't need to spend much money for the contraction of stadiums while these three countries are tourist-friendly, especially Canada and America that's why any visitor who goes to this country will enjoy much more than the time they had in Qatar.

What's been said is right, these countries have got good infrastructure for sports and there is no need of big spending on renovation. It is to be noted that Canada, America isn't less expensive as Qatar. This means certain level of people will be able to enjoy. Next thing is the travel expenses and ticket cost. With Qatar these are really low and many common people got opportunity to enjoy football. Qatar is very small compared to these countries, so planning for the vacation along with football will be good choice.

They promised to have new rules for the world cup visitors because most people who come to this country don't same religion and traditions that's why forcing people to respect the hard rules is not a wise to move they forced people to somehow respect rules they don't have money but for the visitors who got enough money they can drink alcohol without problems, that's why I hope to don't see Qatar and similar countries hosting any special tournaments

Everyone should respect each other culture and religious values. I think FIFA should devise some rules where the visitors are allowed to have alcohol and everyone in certain confined area (not in public) while at the same time convincing the locals to bear such acts and ignore if they see some of these things which are not normal to their religion.

Also, the argument that fifa world Cup should not be hosted in an Islamic country or in any Asian country is vague because football is played in these countries and they have the right to host the world cup just like the American, African, and European countries.

[Cryptock]

In accordance with its customs and religious beliefs, Qatar enforced strict compliance. I surmise there were no ladies from Qatar permitted to watch those matches live. Prior to the start of the matches, beer was also banned. Despite the fact that the event was still a huge success, I doubt it will ever happen again due to the severe restrictions placed.

The upcoming World Cup will make it easier for European and American fans to get in. They may also be able to obtain a visa with ease and cheaper flights. Fans from Africa and Asia will have to travel a long distance in order to watch these matches and obtaining a visa will not be easy.

LOL.. the same lame excuse again and again. Qatar initially promised relaxed rules for the visitors and then they went back on their word. Initially they were saying that beer will be available during the duration of the match. Two days before the tournament started, they suddenly made an announcement that drinks will be available only for the top-tier ticket holders. If religion was the excuse to ban beer, then why the drinks were not banned for everyone? Reason is very simple. Qataris bother only about money and not about religion.

The biggest relaxation they gave is to allow alcohol in the state. It is an islamic state and they don't allow alcohol what else is needed.

I believe the next world cup that will be hosted in this countries will be one of the best world cup,  I don't see this countries be lacking anything for the world cup.

This countries has more than enough to provide to make the 2026 world cup to become best

We must accept the fact that they did really well. People are always criticising them for no reason

I don't understand this logic. Leave all the controversies related to alcohol and LGBT behind. What makes you think that Qatar 2022 was better than Russia 2018 or Brazil 2014? Personally I believe that the 2014 and 2018 editions were organized in a much better way compared to the one in 2022. And then the horror behind staging the world cup in Qatar. They splashed close to $300 billion in an effort to showcase their wealth, at a time when the children of the 6,000 plus dead laborers were going empty stomach in Nepal and Bangladesh.

I quite enjoyed Qatar 2022, I think it was an entertaining world cup, and pretty much all the teams, except Qatar, played really well.

I guess what makes it exceptional is that many people had lower expectations because of all the controversies, but it seems that it didn't matter too much.

Well.. for those who watched the matches live on TV, Qatar 2022 was a spectacular experience. But for those fans who actually traveled to Qatar, it was not a very nice episode. Certain sections, especially unmarried couples and LGBT people faced a lot of discrimination. And all the fans had to spend extra money out of their pocket, as services were priced at a premium. And the less talked about the migrant workers who built those stadiums, that better. They never received any recognition for their efforts, and throughout the tournament the Qataris refused to mention about them even once.

You should respect the country's rules after you enter any country and it doesn't matter if that country is European or American whenever you enter the country you accept some rules, but I think when they are hosting the world up they have to make some changes for the football fans who visit these countries.

Some time ago I heard that the U20 world cup failed to be held in Indonesia because FIFA decided to revoke Indonesia's name as the host due to problems that occurred in Indonesia.
Actually it would be a shame if Indonesia failed to host the U20 World Cup because the development of Indonesian football is actually quite good and Indonesia is also one of the countries with a good national football team in Asia.
Until now I have not heard which country will replace Indonesia and I am also still wondering why FIFA was able to pass a decision that Indonesia's name was revoked as the host of the U20 world cup.
Here does anyone hear and know the update on this U20 world cup issue.

Indonesia was removed by FIFA as the host of the U20 World Cup due to the rejection of several government figures who did not want Israel to come to Indonesia to participate in the U20 World Cup event and had become quite a heated debate because this issue, in terms of the U20 World Cup, was football sports event and it should not be associated with the political problems that are currently happening between Indonesia, Palestine and Israel.
I actually have an opinion that with this mistake that was made by Indonesia until FIFA decided to revoke Indonesia's name it would have a big loss impact on Indonesia.
It's funny to see a government that prioritizes politics but forgets the achievements of their own nation's sons.

A few months back, more than a hundred people died during a stampede in Kanjuruhan Stadium in East Java (during a match between Arema Football Club and Persatuan Sepakbola Surabaya). An enquiry by FIFA found that Football Association of Indonesia was partly to be blamed, as they failed in crowd control measures. Indonesia was removed as the hosts for U-20 world cup a few months later. But there is no doubt that government intervention in sports bodies is a big issue all over Asia. Even here in India, there have been several controversies as a result of this.

It feels like political things are getting involved in FIFA more than at any time, on the reason for FIFA World Cup is to unite the nations and countries and have a friendly related with other nations while unfortunately some countries don't want to have this friendly related and sometimes that's all because the religion they have, I was not expecting to see Indonesia losing the opportunity to host the U-20 world cup.

What about covid19 vaccination? I heard USA still asks for proof of covid19 vaccination. (source: https://flytrippers.com/usa-vaccination-requirement-travel/) People don't want to get vaccinated for covid19 because of various reasons and it even might be based on their religion. Qatar allowed people to drink alcohol in their country, why don't the US remove this shitty requirement? There are one or two other countries other than the US that still enforces this rule. Even the so called "woke" EU isn't requiring it.

Qatar world cup was a peaceful one specially for the fans and visitors as no misconduct happened because of alcoholism or any stuff we should admit this fact.
Qatar made rules for that and that were fruitful in long run, in next world cup I think America , Canada should also implement rules for controlling alcohol and beers to avoid any problem.

First of all, Qatar has managed to create history by hosting the World Cup. Every football fan has praised Qatar after seeing this highly aesthetic event. I don't think any single country will be able to host the next World Cup as well as Qatar.

That's true for a country who's hosting world cup for the first time and had made all set up from scratch thats an achievement for them.  The accommodation for fans and visitors,  the facilities,  stadiums,  discipline  management everything was perfectly done .
Looking forward to world cup 2026 .

We must accept the fact that they did really well. People are always criticising them for no reason

I would not really agree that we criticize them without reason.
Qatar has been violating the human rights of foreign workers for years, and it has been proven beyond any doubt that many workers on the World Cup stadium construction sites were injured or killed, and most of them worked in inhumane conditions in extreme heat.
There are also serious doubts that they won the hosting of the world cup through corrupt practices.
It is obvious that there are many reasons to criticize FIFA for covering it all up and that the most important thing for them is always only profit.

I agree that respecting the rules of the country you are visiting is important, but I also believe that certain changes should be made to accommodate the visitors during the world cup events.

It's good to know that the Qatar world cup was peaceful and there were no issues related to alcohol consumption. Maybe other countries can learn from Qatar's rules and implement similar ones to control alcohol consumption and prevent any issues during the events.
