The Trump administration unveiled the FIFA Prioritized Appointments Scheduling System, or FIFA PASS, on November 17, 2025, to expedite visa interviews for international fans holding tickets to 2026 World Cup matches in the United States. The initiative aims to balance strict immigration policies with the expected influx of millions of visitors for the tournament co-hosted by the US, Mexico, and Canada. FIFA President Gianni Infantino praised the move as a step toward making the event the 'greatest and most inclusive' in history.
Following its earlier call to shift 2026 T20 World Cup games to Sri Lanka, Bangladesh's sports minister Asif Nazrul has reiterated the team will not play in India, citing unresolved security risks and national dignity after a BCB meeting and amid BCCI admissions.
