Divided Loyalties: German Fans Hesitant Over 2026 FIFA World Cup in US
Amid political tensions, German fans are conflicted about attending the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States. Our report explores the factors influencing their decision-making.
German football fans are facing a dilemma as they grapple with the decision to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted in the United States. The tournament, which will feature matches across the US, Canada, and Mexico, has become a polarizing topic among German supporters, many of whom are torn on whether to make the journey across the Atlantic.
The primary driver behind this reluctance is the political climate in the US under the leadership of President Donald Trump. Many German fans feel uneasy about the current administration's policies and rhetoric, which have at times been seen as divisive and unwelcoming toward foreigners. This has led to concerns about personal safety and the overall welcoming atmosphere for international visitors.
