The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11 through July 19, featuring 104 games across 16 venues in North America. The distribution includes 78 games at 11 NFL stadiums in the United States, with the remaining 13 games each in Mexico and Canada. The final will be held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which will also feature a halftime show for the first time.

As the event approaches, there is ongoing scrutiny of FIFA's commitment to human rights. Concerns have been raised regarding the protection of immigrant communities, foreign visitors, and journalists covering the event. These concerns are heightened by recent U.S. immigration enforcement policies.

Human rights organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, NAACP, Amnesty International, and Reporters Without Borders, have expressed their apprehensions. They have communicated these concerns to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, emphasizing the potential risk of the event becoming a platform for authoritarianism.

Press freedom is a significant concern, with an emphasis on ensuring that journalists can report freely and safely. Effective storytelling by the press is essential for providing a comprehensive narrative of the tournament.

Human rights issues in North America differ from previous FIFA events in countries with limited worker protections. The past World Cup in Qatar saw migrant workers endure harsh conditions, and similar concerns are anticipated for the 2034 games in Saudi Arabia.

FIFA's recommendations for the 2026 World Cup include nondiscrimination, security, anti-trafficking measures, and protections for homeless individuals and workers' rights, including those of migrant workers.

FIFA is collaborating with the U.S. government, aiming to unite diverse communities through the 2026 World Cup. This involves working with a White House task force dedicated to facilitating international cooperation during the event.
