The former FIFA president, Joseph Blatter, backed a proposal for fans to boycott World Cup matches in the United States due to the conduct of President Donald Trump and his administration both in the country and abroad. Blatter was the latest figure in international football to question the suitability of the United States as a host country. He called for a boycott in a post on X, supporting comments made by Mark Pieth in an interview last week with the Swiss newspaper Der Bund.
