World Cup 2026. With so many Europeans canceling travel to the US, are more considering canceling trips and tickets for the World Cup later this year?
European travel to the US down by around 500.000 (-3.1%) in 2025 compared to 2024

You bet that more will be cancelling their trips.
It’s all just another grift.
Trump has turned the US into a fascist terrorist state. Hence all the international visitors stay away, hence it will be Americans only in the stadiums. And because there are so many seats available after the cancellations, and due to Trump’s economic policies the only Americans who can afford any tickets at all are billionaires.
This is his goal. He wants to have the entire stadium for himself and his friends. And you bet he’s gonna be on every winner photograph. If you’re one of only 100 people in the stadium, that’s easier.
Also, hopefully other nations retreat from the competition, therefore team USA will be declared the world cup winner, because it’s the only team left participating.
I remember around Qatar WC thinking how awesome it would be to make my first travel to US with classic car trip and WC game to watch.
Now we know its will be expensive beyond imagination and nobody can assure me I wont be treated as illegal migrant to deport for some bullshit. Thats a really toxic deal here.
I’m sure they will give out the tickets for free to school kids so they can fill the seats. Most Americans are not buying those tickets at any price.
I’m no longer attending. Hopefully teams drop out in solidarity
UEFA teams should boycott and not participate
Pressure IOC for Olympic ban as well.
I want the stadiums to be empty, but I bet after everything it will still carry on like normal..
Shouldn’t be allowed to go ahead
Doubt the stadiums will be empty but lets hope
Ideally teams cancel.. wishful thinking
lol if Europe didn’t sit out Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022, there’s really no moral high ground left to stand on.
American here.
Don’t come. Don’t send your teams.
To embarrass the piss-poor “leadership” of this country and cast shame on one of the world’s wanna-be autocrats would be a victory all decent nations could be proud of.
Canadians have been cancelling trips to the US for leisure and business since 2025. We’re sure that Europeans will join us in a larger scale in 2026.
Anyone that is going needs to get some chants going during the games to piss 🍊 off.
Ha ha you guys are funny – where were your principals when the World Cup was in Qatar? They even re-arranged to whole international and club level schedules to accommodate that shit!
Ticket prices are sky high. People are showing up
Teams need to start dropping, that would be the tipping point.
Nothing sends a message quite like money or lack thereof, but of course the problem then becomes that Trump will throw a temper tantrum about how everyone is too stuck up to come to America for this event.
Please stay home. Don’t support this government.
Who in their right mind want to travel to the US and get harassed by ICE?
Make them suffer
You have no self respect if you are from Europe or Canada or anywhere else threatened by the US and you choose to travel there for pure pleasure purposes. Make the minor sacrifice, don’t go. I don’t even know why anyone would *want* to go to a place with a mask vigilante police/thug force that is above the law.
Go to the Mexico / Canada hosted games and give them your money.
With ticket sales tanking, FIFA will have to make prices extra cheap so all those farmers and other MAGAs who lost their jobs can be used to fill seats and make the WC look like a resounding success. FIFA could even give the great dictator another peace prize.
Soccer fans tend to be less rational. Their team is there they will be there.
tourists don’t want to be mistaken for an “illegal alien” and get swept away and disappeared
I am not travelling to the US for any price at the moment
Not going, not going to support it.
Wouldn’t be more happy if they’d reschedule all matches outside the U.S.
Maybe should have 1 symbolic match in Greenland 💪🏼
