They certainly have.
And if you think about the bids that they put forward, the slogan of that bid was United 2026.
What we have at the moment is anything but.
Yes.
We know that there are travel problems, immigration problems, a full travel ban for 19 countries, a partial travel ban for 19 others.
And I suppose most of all, this affects the fans of teams that have qualified, such as Iran, Haiti, the Ivory Coast and Senegal.
Yes, a lot of people are extremely wary.
And I think, you know, as far as the US officials go, they probably don't mind that.
FIFA, on the other hand, they do mind that because they were looking at pulling in the biggest audience ever for what is essentially the biggest FIFA World Cup ever for the first time 48 nations have qualified.
You're talking about 104 matches in 16 cities across three different countries and different time zones in 39 days.
Mm.
And I suppose if you look at the security overlay required for that, we know the USA has a stressed out aviation system.
So you've got a situation where if one flight, let's say, is delayed in Atlanta, meaning the team cannot fly to their next destination, it has an impact on probably 200 other flights across the USA.
Suddenly, you've got 5,000 people who are not planning on spending a night in a particular city and
now looking for accommodation and alternative travel routes on another day.
So it's much more than a football game.
It does.
FIFA is the sort of overall association of associations.
