World Cup players given US travel ban exemption
The Guardian
|June 06, 2025
Donald Trump's newly signed travel ban contains an exemption that could apply to players, staff, or associated families with clubs participating in the 2025 Club World Cup, the 2026 FIFA World Cup, or the 2028 Olympics.
 
 The US president has signed a sweeping order banning travel from 12 countries and restricting travel from seven others, reviving and expanding the travel bans from his first term.
The nationals of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen will be "fully" restricted from entering the US, according to the proclamation. Meanwhile, the entry of nationals of Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela will be partly restricted.
There is an exemption, however, outlined in section 4 of the order, which states that "any athlete or member of an athletic team, including coaches, persons performing a necessary support role, and immediate relatives, traveling for the World Cup, Olympics, or other major sporting event as determined by the secretary of state" are not subject to the ban.
