US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that foreign travelers holding tickets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be given priority for visa appointments. This was reported by the Noticias Argentinas agency. The announcement was made in the Oval Office, accompanied by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, and is part of a US government strategy to expedite the entry of fans ahead of the planet's biggest sporting event. Trump invited visitors to start the process as soon as possible and emphasized that the new prioritization system will facilitate access to appointments, without guaranteeing automatic entry to the country. Secretary of State Marco Rubio echoed the same message, reinforcing the sense of urgency and clarifying that 'a ticket to the game is not a visa.' 'Your ticket is not a visa.'
