Fifa has been criticized for not promoting anti-racism messaging during the Club World Cup in the US, raising concerns that this decision may be linked to the political climate under President Trump's administration. Previous campaigns supported by Fifa, such as the 'no discrimination' armbands at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, seem to have been abandoned in favor of a broader 'Football Unites the World' initiative. Campaigners believe that the absence of this messaging undermines progressive values central to Fifa's commitments against discrimination and could reflect a retreat from inclusivity in a volatile political environment.
It is disappointing that it appears there will be no anti-discrimination messaging throughout the Club World Cup. In the past such messaging has been well received.
Fifa has a firm, zero-tolerance stance against all forms of discrimination and racism, reaffirmed through the unanimous approval by the Fifa Council.
