The 2026 World Cup at a Political Crossroads

For Deutschlandfunk, Germany’s only nationwide public radio station, I covered the political challenges surrounding the 2026 FIFA World Cup across Canada, Mexico, and the United States, including visa and travel barriers for fans, security debates, and the impact of U.S. domestic and foreign politics on the tournament. I also reported on allegations of sexual abuse connected to the World Cup that received little international media attention.
