According to the American leader, citizens have the right to express their views, including through protests, but such actions must remain within the law and not disrupt public order. Trump emphasized that freedom of expression is a fundamental right in the United States and will be upheld during the international sporting event.

Amid the ongoing Middle East conflict, the football community has shown growing support for the Palestinian people. Some clubs and fan organizations have launched the campaign “show Israel the red card,” aimed at drawing attention to the situation in the region. The movement foresees various awareness actions during the tournament.

The 2026 World Cup organizers have declared their intention to remain politically neutral but confirmed that they will comply with the laws of the host countries, including rights related to freedom of assembly. They expect that any protests will not interfere with the matches or compromise the safety of players and spectators.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19 across the USA, Canada, and Mexico, with most matches and key tournament stages held in the United States. According to organizers, over 8 million fans from around the world are expected to attend.

Experts note that possible pro-Palestinian protests could increase global awareness of the humanitarian situation in the region. However, tournament organizers stress that the safety of participants and spectators remains a top priority and any activities must be coordinated with local authorities.

President Trump’s statement has received wide international media and football community attention. In the coming months, specific guidelines and regulations are expected to be developed to balance citizens' rights to protest with the need to maintain public order at the world’s largest football event.
