As the 2026 World Cup in the United States draws near, a potentially restrictive measure is already stirring strong reactions. According to the American outlet The Atlantic, some foreign supporters could be required to pay a particularly hefty financial bond to obtain a tourist visa.

Fans from several African countries, including Algeria, are reportedly affected by this regulation. The proposed sum could reach as high as $15,000—a guarantee aimed at ensuring visitors return home after the tournament. This requirement would also impact nations like Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Tunisia.
