German football federation won’t boycott World Cup over Trump.

The German football federation has decided against boycotting the FIFA 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the US, despite internal calls to send a message to President Donald Trump. The federation’s executive committee discussed the option of a boycott but ultimately rejected it, citing the unifying power of sports. Former FIFA president Sepp Blatter advised fans to stay away from the tournament, while concerns persist over high ticket prices and travel bans imposed by the Trump administration. Germany’s team will participate in the tournament, aiming for fair competition and a peaceful celebration of football.
