US President Donald Trump is considering a potential visa ban for Brazilian citizens, especially during the FIFA World Cup. This information comes from CNN Brasil.
Sources suggest that this measure aims to increase pressure on the Brazilian public to weaken the current government's position. It is noted that restrictions have already been placed, as Brazilian senators visiting Washington were issued visas with significantly shortened stays in the US.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has stated that they will refrain from making official statements until the situation is clearer. However, they are aware of the potential sanctions and emphasize their readiness to defend the rights of fans who have never faced restrictions in World Cup participation before.
The 2026 World Cup is set to take place from June 11 to July 19 in the US, Canada, and Mexico, featuring a record 48 national teams. FIFA previously announced that the first ticket sales phase for the tournament will begin on September 10, 2025.
