Palestinian FA chief denied US visa ahead of 2026 World Cup tournament
The head of the Palestinian Football Association remains in Mexico City after being denied a US entry visa. While other federation chiefs travel to the United States for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Palestinian representative cannot join them.
The visa refusal highlights diplomatic challenges and regional representation issues surrounding the tournament. Analysts warn that this could complicate PFA's logistical planning and its influence during the event.
The timeline for any appeal or resolution remains uncertain.
