Trump Adds Senegal and Ivory Coast to Travel Ban List for 2026 World Cup
US President Donald Trump has extended the travel ban to include Senegal and Ivory Coast, both World Cup-bound African nations, ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The move, part of a broader policy affecting 39 countries, aims to enhance security measures.
Senegal and Ivory Coast, drawn in the same group with Germany, Curacao, and Ecuador, face partial entry restrictions. Senegal's overstay rate for B1/B2 visitor visas is around four percent, while Ivory Coast's is eight percent.
The decision has sparked reactions on social media, especially among football fans anticipating the upcoming World Cup.
