World Cup 2026: Beyond the Celebration

Project World Cup Spotlight has kicked off a campaign called "The World Is Watching," urging people to look past the excitement of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and focus on human rights issues in the host nations. While athletes are celebrated, many immigrant families face tough challenges like detention and family separation. The campaign uses public actions, art, and media to spotlight these issues without targeting the World Cup itself. What does it mean for you? This means as you watch the World Cup, there's a chance to also think about and support human rights, showing that sports can be a platform for more than just games.
