The road to the FIFA World Cup 2026 has hit turbulence even before kickoff. From Iran’s delegation being denied entry into Canada to protests demanding their exclusion, and a tense Israel-Palestine standoff inside the FIFA Congress, Vancouver turned into a flashpoint. Add to that growing public anger over local issues, and FIFA now finds itself battling more than just footballing concerns. Is this a warning sign for what lies ahead? Rupha Ramani breaks down the politics, pressure, and growing chaos around football’s biggest event. Also on the show, political tensions are overshadowing the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as Iran’s participation sparks a global power tussle. With Donald Trump’s remarks adding fuel to the fire, questions grow over who truly controls the game -FIFA or geopolitics.
