The 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, is facing serious operational problems. These challenges are mainly caused by strict U.S. immigration laws and international political tensions.

由美國、墨西哥與加拿大共同主辦的 2026 年 FIFA 世界盃目前正面臨嚴重的運作問題。這些挑戰主要是由於美國嚴格的移民法與國際政治緊張局勢所引起。

The organization of the tournament has been damaged because several key staff members and players have been denied entry to the U.S. For example, Omar Artan, a respected Somali official, was not allowed to enter the country by U.S. Customs and Border Protection due to security checks. Even though he had a valid visa, he was removed from the official list. Similarly, the Iraqi team faced disruptions, including the seven-hour detention of striker Aymen Hussein and the refusal of entry for the team's photographer.

由於數名關鍵職員與球員被拒絕進入美國，賽事的籌備工作受到影響。例如，一名受尊敬的索馬利亞官員 Omar Artan 因安全檢查，被美國海關及邊境保衛局拒絕入境。即便他持有有效簽證，仍被移出官方名單。同樣地，伊拉克隊也面臨干擾，包括前鋒 Aymen Hussein 被拘留七小時，以及球隊攝影師被拒絕入境。

There is a clear difference between FIFA's public promises and the actual situation. While President Gianni Infantino previously emphasized that all countries must have access to participate, FIFA has now claimed that it is not responsible for visas, as these are decided only by the host governments. Consequently, the Iranian national team had to move its training base to Tijuana, Mexico, following military conflicts between the U.S. and Iran. Furthermore, the U.S. government has blocked about 15 Iranian support staff and cancelled ticket allocations for their fans, which the Iranian Football Federation called a violation of sporting principles.

FIFA 的公開承諾與實際情況之間存在明顯差距。雖然會長 Gianni Infantino 先前強調所有國家必須有權參與，但 FIFA 現在聲稱其不需要為簽證負責，因為簽證僅由主辦政府決定。因此，由於美國與伊朗之間的軍事衝突，伊朗國家隊不得不將訓練基地移至墨西哥的蒂華納。此外，美國政府封鎖了約 15 名伊朗支援人員，並取消了其球迷的門票配額，伊朗足球協會稱此舉違反了體育原則。

In addition to diplomatic problems, the tournament faces social and environmental concerns. Human rights groups, such as Amnesty International, have warned about the risk of unfair detentions by U.S. immigration authorities. At the same time, climate scientists have warned that 25% of the matches might take place in dangerous heat, and they argue that FIFA's current plans are not enough to protect players. Finally, critics claim that the new ticket pricing system has made the event too expensive for low-income fans and people with disabilities.

除了外交問題外，賽事還面臨社會與環境方面的憂慮。如國際特赦組織等權利團體已警告，美國移民部門可能進行不公平的拘留。同時，氣候科學家警告 25% 的比賽可能會在危險的高溫環境下進行，他們認為 FIFA 目前的計劃不足以保護球員。最後，批評者指新的票價制度使得低收入球迷與身心障礙人士難以負擔。

The 2026 World Cup is currently defined by a conflict between its huge commercial success and the reality of international political instability.

2026 年世界盃目前定義為其巨大的商業成功與國際政治不穩定現實之間的衝突。
