One can only imagine the frantic negotiations behind closed doors that enabled Iran to play all three of its group games on US soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The president of Iran\u2019s football federation, Mehdi Taj, requested FIFA relocate the team\u2019s home base from Arizona to Tijuana, Mexico, just across the border. This allowed Taj and other officials \u2013 banned from entering the US because of their allegiance to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (listed as a terrorist organisation in countries such as the US, Canada and Australia) \u2013 to stay with the team as it prepared for matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Many were later shocked when FIFA-selected Somali referee Omar Artan was banned from entering the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">However, there were eight other referees from nations on the US\u2019s list of banned and semi-banned countries. All were admitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Teams that were allowed to compete in the US despite a full ban were Iran and Haiti, while partial ban countries Senegal and C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire were also able to compete in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The biggest and most damaging controversy though was the Donald Trump-Gianni Infantino red card affair, when FIFA\u2019s disciplinary committee suspended a one-match ban for the US\u2019s Folarin Balogun following the US president\u2019s call to the FIFA boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Both presidents admitted to the call, but a statement from Infantino trying to limit the damage and another from the disciplinary committee justifying the suspension seemed only to fan the flames of discontent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">FIFA President Gianni Infantino: <br><br>\u201cI have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA\u2019s governance.<br><br>\u201cFIFA\u2019s judicial\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FzeWuMQIXf\">pic.twitter.com\/FzeWuMQIXf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; FIFA Media (@fifamedia) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/fifamedia\/status\/2074160315562885122?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 6, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It prompted London-based sport and human rights organisation FairSquare to lodge an ethics complaint with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) against Infantino. It stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"\">the complaint alleges Infantino has repeatedly breached IOC rules on political neutrality by offering his political support for US President, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">A core group of European nations and Western media see the red card affair as another example of the FIFA president cosying up to autocratic leaders, including those democratically elected. But reports alleging \u201cthe world\u201d is calling for Infantino\u2019s head are grossly exaggerated. It is a media and politics story \u2013 most fans are talking about the the on-field action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">That didn\u2019t stop many fans at the final booing Trump and Infantino before and after the decider between Spain and Argentina in New Jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Audience boos drown out the music as Trump walks on to present the FIFA World Cup trophy <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eeduITaAj0\">pic.twitter.com\/eeduITaAj0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; FactPost (@factpostnews) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/factpostnews\/status\/2078973204152889446?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 19, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The politics and governance of FIFA will play out in the months ahead \u2013 Infantino\u2019s ambition is to seek a fourth term, with an election in 2027. The next eight months will be an intense period of lobbying, with many of European soccer\u2019s 55 members hoping to elicit support from other confederations to vote Infantino out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">FIFA, though, is made up of 211 member nations, many of whom are very happy with the increase in FIFA profits distributed to national federations, in turn allowing them to further invest in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Cabo Verde, one of the highlights of the expanded World Cup format, is a case in point. FIFA money helped construct new pitches in 2022, as well as a refurbishment of its elite academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">There were also forecasts of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents patrolling venues, scaring away other fans; that too did not materialise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Perhaps the biggest concern of all was the risk to security and yet, publicly at least, there were no major incidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The good news stories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The media\u2019s predictions of empty stadiums and \u201creal fans\u201d being priced out of the market proved to be way off the mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Even before the semi-finals, FIFA reported more than six and a half million fans had packed venues, surpassing the past two editions of the World Cup combined, for an average occupancy of 99.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It is the numbers that speak of success \u2013 the numbers attract sponsors, pushing up broadcast rights for future editions, growing the pie from which every member federation eats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Record television audiences in several markets will contribute to what is expected to be a new overall record for global audiences once the final numbers are compiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It has silenced many critics, mostly from Europe, who believed the talent across the globe did not warrant a tournament expansion from 32 to 48 nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">But several \u201cminnow nations\u201d acquitted themselves well, and teams from Africa shone, with nine of its ten qualified nations moving beyond the group stage and into the knockouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The on-field legacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Western media coverage may continue to portray the Trump-Infantino red card affair as the dominant memory of the World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The ordinary person, who tuned in at all hours of the day or night to see their team play, will disagree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">For them, it will be the extraordinary moments of athletic skill on show as their team provided moments of national joy and despair on a global stage which came and went all too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Politics often overshadows sport \u2013 until the ball is kicked.
