Calls for FIFA to Expel the U.S. from the World Cup

MPs Demand Action Over International Law Violations

A coalition of cross-party Members of Parliament have urged FIFA to consider the expulsion of the United States from the upcoming World Cup. They assert that this action should be taken until the U.S. can demonstrate “clear compliance with international law and respect for the sovereignty of other nations.”

Context of the Call

This appeal comes in light of a recent incident where U.S. forces conducted a raid in Caracas, resulting in the apprehension of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. This operation has raised significant concerns about the implications of American foreign policy, especially following recent statements made by President Donald Trump directed at various nations.

Implications for Sports Organizations

As the United States prepares to host both the World Cup and the Olympics in the next two and a half years, there are pressing questions surrounding the impact of its foreign policy on international sports organizations. Will any governing bodies take a definitive stance on these issues?
