Let's hope all these world war tensions get cool off and we have a peaceful land for our humanity. Only then we can have preparation for the FIFA world cup and the people involved in these tournaments. Just like the sporting events were cancelled due to covid pandemic, the 2026 world cup may be postponed if the world is in the world war crisis. Keeping an eye on political affairs and things unfolding in near future.
But I think the current war will have an impact on the 2026 World Cup. Even though the Middle East conflict is between Palestine and Israel, this war also brings the names of allied countries such as the United States. I think this war will have a lot of influence geopolitically. It is possible that the 2026 World Cup will be postponed if this war spreads and becomes a global crisis.
That is self-explanatory, isn't it? If a world war breaks out, like a serious world war with tens of millions of soldiers being involved and artillery firing all over the planet, of course there won't be any major events like a World Cup or the Olympics and maybe not any sports events at all. But if it is as it is, there have been wars during all the World Cups and Olympics, but the difference now is that media is more involved and these wars exhibit more proximity to people who haven't been as involved in wars before. But if it goes on like this, the Qatar World Cup took place despite Russia reducing Ukraine to rubble and ashes and the same way the World Cup 2026 will take place when there is war in the Gaza Strip. Unless there isn't a second Pearl Harbor, the World Cup is going to take place.
