Tell FIFA and World Cup Hosts to Respect Human Rights

The 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup is taking place amidst an acute human rights crisis, with significant risks and impacts for fans, players, journalists, workers and local communities alike.

FIFA promises a tournament where everyone “feels safe, included and free to exercise their rights.” But the reality tells a very different story. FIFA and host governments have a responsibility to uphold their commitments to human rights: ensuring safety, dignity, and freedom for all.

Urge FIFA President Gianni Infantino and World Cup host governments to:

  • Stop immigration enforcement
  • Protect peaceful protest
  • Guarantee safety and equality for all

No fear, no crackdowns, no excuses.
