President Donald Trump’s proclamation banning travel from 12 countries contains an explicit carve-out for athletes, team personnel and their families traveling to the U.S. for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as well as the Olympics and other major sporting events.

The order fully restricts the entry of foreign nationals from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. It also partially restricts travel from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.

The exception for the World Cup is especially significant given that one of the 12 banned countries, Iran, has already qualified for the tournament, which will be held next summer in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. At least two other banned countries, Haiti and Libya, have realistic chances of qualifying for the tournament, as does Venezuela. Though the proclamation, which is slated to take effect Monday, would allow athletes and team personnel to enter the country, it would seemingly prevent fans from the 12 banned countries from entering the U.S. to support their teams.

The proclamation raises questions about two major international soccer events beginning this month in the U.S., the FIFA Club World Cup and Concacaf Gold Cup. Neither event is specifically mentioned in the proclamation, which means it would be up to Secretary of State Marco Rubio to determine whether they qualify as “major sporting events.”

While the Club World Cup field does not include any teams from the banned countries, The Athletic reports that rosters of participating teams include players from Sudan, Venezuela and Iran. Haiti is among the teams slated to participate in the Gold Cup.

The proclamation does not apply to individuals who have been granted valid visas prior to it taking effect on Monday.
