FIFA ex-President Blatter backs call to boycott World Cup
"'For the fans, there's only one piece of advice: stay away from the USA!'"
""Pieth is right to question this World Cup.""
"Pieth also said fans would "get a better view on television anyway.""
""And when entering the country, fans must be prepared for the fact that, if the officials don't like them, they will be sent straight back home on the next flight. If they're lucky,""
Sepp Blatter aligned with Mark Pieth's call for fans to question attending the World Cup in the United States and urged scrutiny of the US-hosted event. Pieth advised fans to stay away, suggested they would get a better view on television, and warned that visitors risk being turned back by officials on entry. Canada, the US and Mexico are co-hosting, with the US staging the most matches and all quarterfinals onward. Pieth referenced deaths involving US immigration enforcement, including Renee Good and Alex Pretti. A few European politicians mentioned boycott as a last-resort option; national-team boycotts remain exceptionally rare.
