A World Cup with many question marks, everything you need to know about the 2026

Çmimet e biletave

Një nga çështjet më të debatueshme të Botërorit të këtij viti lidhet me çmimet e biletave, të cilat janë rritur ndjeshëm. Sipas artikullit, biletat më të lira për ndeshjen SHBA–Paraguai kushtojnë mbi 1.000 dollarë, ndërsa një vend në finale mund të arrijë në 32.970 dollarë.

FIFA ka krijuar edhe një platformë rishitjeje për mbajtësit e biletave. Federata nuk vendos çmimet në këtë treg, por merr komision 15% si nga blerësi, ashtu edhe nga shitësi. Në disa raste, çmimet e rishitjes arrijnë në shifra shumë të larta.

Presidenti i FIFA-s, Gianni Infantino, ka mbrojtur strukturën e çmimeve, duke thënë se FIFA ka ofruar bileta që nisin nga 60 dollarë për çdo ndeshje, përfshirë finalen. Megjithatë, kur shtohen shpenzimet për fluturime, hotele dhe transport, turneu mbetet i papërballueshëm për shumë tifozë.

Pjesëmarrja e Iranit

Një tjetër temë e rëndësishme është pjesëmarrja e Iranit, në kontekstin e luftës dhe shqetësimeve për sigurinë. Sipas tekstit, Teherani fillimisht kishte deklaruar se lojtarët iranianë nuk mund të udhëtonin në mënyrë të sigurt për të marrë pjesë në Botëror.

Situata u bë më e paqartë pas deklaratave të presidentit amerikan Donald Trump, i cili tha se Irani ishte i mirëpritur në turne, por la të kuptohej se pjesëmarrja mund të ngrinte çështje sigurie për lojtarët.

Kreu i Federatës së Futbollit të Iranit, Mehdi Taj, diskutoi me FIFA-n mundësinë që ndeshjet e Iranit të zhvendoseshin nga SHBA-ja në Meksikë. Megjithatë, FIFA ka konfirmuar se Irani do të marrë pjesë normalisht në turne.

Iran will face New Zealand, Egypt and Belgium. Two matches will be held in Los Angeles and one in Seattle.

Safety of fans and athletes

The article emphasizes that there are concerns about the safety of citizens and athletes, especially due to the political climate in the host countries: the US, Mexico and Canada.

Some fans have expressed concerns about the operations of the American agency ICE and the possibility of American authorities monitoring visitors' activity on social media.

The text also mentions the travel restrictions imposed by the Trump administration on citizens of 39 countries. According to the article, these restrictions also affect citizens from Haiti, Iran, Senegal and Ivory Coast, while players, staff and officials of participating teams will be allowed to enter.

In Mexico, security concerns are particularly high in Guadalajara, where four matches will be played. The article mentions the aftermath of a federal operation against Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Debuting countries

Four countries will make their World Cup debuts: Jordan, Cape Verde, Curaçao and Uzbekistan. Their participation was made possible by the tournament's expansion to 48 teams.

Jordan will face world champions Argentina and Lionel Messi in the final match of Group J. Uzbekistan will play in the same group as Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo. Uzbekistan is coached by Fabio Cannavaro, the former Italian captain who won the World Cup in 2006.

Cape Verde will face Spain and Lamine Yamal, while Curaçao will play in Group E, which also includes Germany. Curaçao becomes the smallest country to ever qualify for the World Cup, with a population of around 156,000.

Players to watch

One of the main names is Spain winger Lamine Yamal. The 18-year-old is expected to play in his first World Cup after coach Luis de la Fuente said his recovery is going well.

Several players will be unable to participate due to injuries, including Dutchman Xavi Simons, Frenchman Hugo Ekitike and American forward Patrick Agyemang.
