Trump travel ban could hit US hopes of hosting 2026 World Cup

"When it comes to FIFA competitions, any team, including the supporters and officials of that team, who qualify for a World Cup need to have access."

FIFA president Gianni Infantino has indicated Donald Trump's controversial travel ban could prevent the United States from hosting the World Cup.

The United States is favourite to win the right to host the 2026 World Cup, either on its own or in a cross-border bid with either, or both, Mexico and Canada.
