FIFA has been urged to remove the United States as host of the 2026 World Cup, with a leading British broadcaster suggesting the tournament be relocated to the UK.

Concerns over access and safety have intensified, with reports that thousands of fans recently cancelled tickets. The Senegalese federation has also raised fairness issues, while UK politicians from four parties have signed a motion urging international bodies to consider expelling the US from major sporting events.
