The 2026 FIFA World Cup is facing significant operational disruptions due to the immigration and travel restrictions implemented by the United States administration.

由於美國政府實施的移民與旅遊限制，2026 年 FIFA 世界盃正面臨顯著的運作干擾。

The current geopolitical climate has manifested in substantial logistical impediments for several national delegations. Most notably, the Iranian national team was compelled to relocate its primary training base from Arizona to Tijuana, Mexico, following the denial of visas for approximately 15 administrative and technical staff members. The U.S. administration attributed these denials to national security concerns, specifically citing the prevention of individuals with ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from entering the country. Consequently, the Iranian squad is required to transit into the U.S. only on the days of their scheduled matches, returning to Mexico immediately thereafter. Furthermore, the delegation has utilized symbolic lapel pins to commemorate casualties of a February 28 missile strike in Minab, an act that potentially contravenes FIFA's regulations regarding political messaging.

目前的地緣政治氣候為數個國家代表團帶來了顯著的物流障礙。最顯著的是，伊朗國家隊在約 15 名行政與技術人員被拒簽後，被迫將其主要訓練基地從亞利桑那州遷至墨西哥的蒂華納。美國政府將這些拒簽歸因於國家安全考量，特別是引用了防止與伊斯蘭革命衛隊有聯繫的人員進入該國。因此，伊朗隊僅被要求在預定比賽日進入美國，隨後立即返回墨西哥。此外，代表團使用象徵性襟章以紀念 2 月 28 日米納布導彈襲擊的傷亡者，此舉可能違反了 FIFA 關於政治訊息的規定。

Similar restrictive measures have affected individual officials and other national teams. Omar Abdulkadir Artan, a Somali referee and the 2025 CAF Men's Referee of the Year, was deemed inadmissible by U.S. Customs and Border Protection upon arrival in Miami, despite possessing a valid visa and diplomatic passport. This decision has effectively precluded his participation in the tournament. Additionally, the Senegalese national team was subjected to intensive runway screenings, and the South African delegation experienced travel delays due to visa processing inefficiencies. These incidents are situated within a broader framework of travel bans affecting 39 nations, which has also resulted in increased visa rejection rates for spectators, particularly those from African states.

類似的限制措施也影響了個別官員和其他國家隊。索馬利亞裁判、2025 年 CAF 年度最佳男裁判 Omar Abdulkadir Artan 在抵達邁阿密時，儘管持有有效簽證與外交護照，仍被美國海關及邊境保護局判定為不允許入境。此決定實際上已排除他參加該賽事。此外，塞內加爾國家隊在跑道上接受了密集篩檢，而南非代表團則因簽證處理效率低下而遭遇旅程延遲。這些事件處於一個影響 39 個國家的廣泛旅遊禁令框架之內，這也導致觀眾的簽證拒簽率增加，尤其是來自非洲國家的觀眾。

Concurrent with these diplomatic frictions, security concerns have emerged within host cities. In Kansas City, a mass shooting resulting in nine non-life-threatening injuries occurred approximately 4.6 miles from the English national team's training facility. While local authorities have stated the event was unrelated to the tournament, it has intensified scrutiny regarding the $17 million federal grant allocated for security operations. These cumulative factors—ranging from stringent vetting processes to regional instability—have led organizations such as Amnesty International to express concern regarding the potential for systemic exclusion and racial profiling during the event.

與這些外交摩擦同時，主辦城市內也出現了安全疑慮。在堪薩斯市，英格蘭國家隊訓練設施約 4.6 英里外發生了一起大規模槍擊事件，造成 9 人受傷但無生命危險。雖然當地當局表示該事件與賽事無關，但這加劇了對分配給安全行動的 1,700 萬美元聯邦撥款的審查。這些綜合因素——從嚴格的審查程序到區域不穩定——已導致國際特赦組織等機構對活動期間可能出現的系統性排除與種族定型表示擔憂。

The intersection of national security mandates and international sporting obligations continues to create volatility for the 2026 World Cup's operational framework.

國家安全指令與國際體育義務的交集，持續為 2026 年世界盃的運作框架帶來不穩定性。
