Mondial 2026: L'ONG Human Rights Watch dénonce le «manque de mesures pour protéger les joueurs et les supporters»
In a report published two months before the start of the 2022 World Cup, Human Rights Watch calls on FIFA and the host cities of the 78 matches scheduled in the United States to call a truce with ICE, the immigration police.
Two months before the start of the 2026 World Cup, scheduled from June 11 to July 19, Human Rights Watch (HRW) is raising the alarm. "The organizing committees of the World Cup host cities and FIFA have not taken the necessary measures to protect players and fans ," the NGO asserted in a statement published last Friday .
A direct reference to the 78 matches of the tournament, including the semi-finals and final, which will be played in the United States, a country that, according to Human Rights Watch, is "marked by rising authoritarianism and abusive raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ." According to their estimates, "from January 20, 2025, to March 10, 2026, ICE detained at least 167,000 people in the 11 US cities hosting matches ." This raises, according to HRW, "the threat of increased immigration controls during FIFA events and growing threats to press freedom . "
The NGO denounces the fact that twelve of the sixteen host city committees for the upcoming World Cup have not submitted an action plan related to respect for human rights, as required by FIFA. HRW calls on "FIFA and the host cities to implement a 'truce' on ICE" during the World Cup.
