FIFA World Cup 2026 Preparations

Preparations for the FIFA World Cup 2026 are intensifying, with teams finalizing squads and new technologies being introduced.

However, some teams, including Iran, Haiti, and South Africa, have faced visa issues, turning the tournament political before it even begins.

FIFA has also drawn criticism for banning refillable water bottles and canceling free tickets due to a website error.

Despite these challenges, host cities like Toronto are implementing new initiatives to manage the expected influx of visitors.
