    I think this is fake.

    The source appears to be random social media rumors. Most stories about this just AI generate a bunch of things about current events without going into details.

    “FIFA might move games. Many people have reportedly complained. Trump’s policies are unpopular. FIFA upholds certain values. The games are set to be held at XYZ.”

    I thought Infantino and Trump were a couple of corrupt buddies.

      I mean, any article that can say this with a straight face is just so full of it.

      These restrictions have raised serious questions about FIFA’s commitment to its own core principles, particularly those emphasizing “access and non-discrimination,” as well as its pledge to uphold human rights and promote inclusion.

      Fifa didn’t care about any of that shit when they held it in qatar, fifa has never cared about that, nobody at all is expecting them to suddenly start caring about that, what is this.

      Cities spend a couple years preparing to host, so it would be a pretty big deal to move the games. Potentially not even really feasible, at least easily.
