World Cup 2026: 40 Moroccan supporters blocked by USA, without any explanation – La Nouvelle Tribune

Forty members of the Moroccan national team supporters' association had their visa applications rejected by the US consulate in Casablanca days before the 2026 World Cup. Only two residents of Marrakech obtained approval. International defender Zakaria El Ouahdi was also denied twice. The supporters had purchased tickets and incurred non-refundable expenses, and Washington gave no explanation despite a previously announced bond exemption.
