For those who had planned to attend a FIFA World Cup match in the United States, is anyone reconsidering whether it's safe to travel to the US for the event??

There's no World Cup this year since the Candidates' tournaments will take its place (https://candidates2026.fide.com/). The Candidates' will be played in Cyprus from March 28 to April 16, assuming the venue isn't blown up by then (it apparently came under some kind of bombing attack due to the Iran war).

The World Cup last year was held in Goa, India (https://worldcup2025.fide.com/) so travel to the US wasn't an issue for either event. Travel FROM the US might be problematic for some people, depending on what the unpredictable US government does.

    It was the Sovereign British Areas that came under attack by a single drone as far as we are aware. Technically its British territory, even though its colonial in nature.
