Trump Launches “FIFA Pass” for Priority Visa Access to 2026 World Cup

President Trump has introduced the FIFA Priority Appointment Scheduling System, or “FIFA Pass,” a new initiative allowing international soccer fans who purchase official World Cup tickets to secure expedited visa interviews at U.S. consulates worldwide. The program, part of a White House task force effort led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, aims to handle the surge of visitors smoothly while maintaining robust security screening. With over six million tickets for the 2026 tournament set across 16 North American cities, the FIFA Pass reflects Trump’s commitment to a safe, successful, and welcoming World Cup experience for the global soccer community.
