This year, politics took the stage at the 2026 FIFA World Cup before the first whistle blew. The Somali referee had the title of Africa's best but was denied entry to the United States. As you know, the Iranian football team officially has to travel thousands of kilometers for every match because the USA did not want them to camp in the country. Why has this tournament, born in Uruguay in 1930, changed so much in 96 years? Has politics always existed? Perhaps the question to be asked is: With batsmen in the World Cup causing so much excitement; Is it really the same field on which the ball is currently rolling? Details are in our news.
