Pressure is growing to ban Israel from the 2026 World Cup, with a key vote reportedly expected as early as next week.
Calls for a ban on Israel’s participation in the 2026 World Cup are intensifying, particularly within UEFA, following a UN report accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. The US government has pledged to oppose any such ban, while an emergency UEFA vote is anticipated soon amidst growing international scrutiny and comparisons to Russia’s previous sanctions.
