As the US prepares to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup and 2028 Olympic Games, a new travel ban has raised concerns about its impact on these major sporting events. However, officials believe that the exemption for sports participants, recognized by the federal government, will allow athletes from banned countries to compete. LA28 chair Casey Wasserman assured that the Olympics will receive special consideration, showcasing confidence in the government's support to ensure the events proceed without disruption.
Organisers of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics have expressed "great confidence" that the travel ban will not disrupt the summer Games, affirming government support.
The ban restricts citizens of 12 countries from entering the US, but includes exemptions for participants in major events such as the World Cup and Olympics.
