U.S. hosting raises concerns about World Cup inclusivity and spirit

The United States, hosting the World Cup for the second time starting this summer, faces criticism over its perceived greed and hostility. Issues such as high ticket prices, visa restrictions, and the treatment of teams like Iran overshadow the anticipated excitement of the tournament. FIFA President Gianni Infantino acknowledged these challenges, suggesting that instead of unity, the event has led to division. Calls for greater inclusivity emphasize the need to welcome all participants and fans, reflecting the tournament's true spirit. As preparations continue, scrutiny over the U.S. approach remains a prominent discussion point.
