Category: Sports |

Nigeria TV Info reports: The global football governing body, FIFA, is reportedly considering shifting some 2026 World Cup matches from the United States to Canada due to rising concerns over the U.S. immigration policies. These policies have drawn increasing criticism from football fans, human rights advocates, and international media. The recent tightening of visa rules in the U.S. has created major obstacles for several delegations—including supporters, media professionals, and team staff—attempting to enter the country. FIFA is said to be evaluating alternative host cities in Canada to ensure broader accessibility and inclusiveness for all stakeholders in the tournament.
