North America coordinates World Cup travel measures amid Ebola concerns

sportsMay 28, 202634551

The United States, Mexico and Canada will align public-health travel measures for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to manage Ebola risk. The coordinated rules will cover travelers arriving from high-risk African regions and apply across World Cup host cities in all three countries. The decision responds to recent Ebola activity in parts of Africa and aims to ensure consistent arrival screening, testing and isolation protocols. Coordination matters because the tournament will draw millions of fans across North America, and unified rules reduce cross-border confusion while lowering the chance of international spread.

FIFA has always had a peculiar way to sell tickets to the World Cup. It never faced any major issues — until prices soared for the 2026 tournament. n.pr/4uNdi59

I would encourage every person from every free country to boycott coming to the United States for the World Cup. We need as much help as we can get to come back this fascist regime.

OMG World Cup is getting murdered in the United States, its like Reverse Taken on a global scale.

FIFA is as corrupt as Trump and his crazy cult of criminals.

It isn’t just the price of the ticket that is putting people off. Nobody sane wants to visit the Fascist USA.

Love the game, but I'm a hard pass on attending this year's World Cup. Likely won't even watch on TV. Always corrupt, FIFA took their greed to new levels this time around and I have no desire to support them. It's a shame. The World Cup can and should be awesome.

Right before the World Cup, which is being hosted at MetLife stadium just up the road from Delaney. Have at it. See where it gets you.

Their first mistake was believing anything FIFA says.

Anyone with half a brain would not come to this country.

FACT: International tourists are staying away from America in droves, because no one wants to be threatened, intimidated or kidnapped by ICE goons while attending a sports event in a country that has become a nightmare land of police-state authoritarianism. #FIFA #WorldCup #TrumpDidThis

I am Canadian 🇨🇦 We will not travel to USA (or Hawaii) until law, order and due process are restored and Trump is G O N E. Our daughter and family live there. They will have to visit us for a while Writing something as defamatory as this post would flag me for a long stay in Alligator Alcatraz.

Climate change is changing the game for the 2026 #FIFAWorldCup. 🌡️Extreme heat is rising at nearly every host stadium, increasing the risk of heat illness for players and fans during peak summer matches.

Majority of games still have tickets available for purchase at FIFA’s inflated prices. Pretty much unheard of for a World Cup.

The problem with the modern World Cup may not just be politics or money, writes Ben Smith. It may be that FIFA has slowly forgotten the difference between growing football and monetising it.

I'm sure doing this less than 2 weeks before the start of the World Cup won't turn it into an even bigger disaster than it's already shaping up to be.

Tired of hearing about Alphonso Davies and his injury status leading up to the World Cup. I don't know if things have changed with the team but he very much set himself apart last time. Anyone who has watched the Canadiens this year knows that a unified team is more important than a single superstar
