• The two African nations join Haiti and Iran on ban list

• Fans may face restrictions when entering US

A proclamation signed by President Trump widened his administration’s ongoing travel restrictions on Tuesday to include 2026 World Cup participants Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal.

The two African nations were added to the travel ban list with what the White House statement said were “partial restrictions and entry limitations,” currently the least restrictive category among the full group of nations covered, which now numbers 39 after Tuesday’s announcement. The sweeping travel ban already includes two countries who will participate in the World Cup: Haiti and Iran, both of whom are subject to the most stringent restrictions.

• Prices for the ‘supporter entry’ tier are capped at $60

• Tier will be available to supporters for all 104 games

• Allocation will comprise 1.6% of available tickets

Amid backlash against exorbitant prices for the 2026 World Cup, Fifa on Tuesday announced that it had created a new tier of tickets specifically for supporters of the involved teams for each game, with prices capped at $60 per ticket for every match of the tournament, including the final.

The new pricing category will be part of the allotment of tickets distributed by the associations for the participating teams, who each get 8% of available tickets for every match they play. The new pricing tier, called the entry tier, will comprise 10% of that 8% allotment, or 1.6% of all available tickets taking into account both sets of supporters. Given the size of most 2026 World Cup stadiums, that amounts to a little over 1,000 tickets per match available at that price point, split evenly between supporters of both teams.
