The USA will host the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics. A new travel ban by President Trump affects people from 12 countries and partly 7 others.

Athletes, coaches, and team helpers can travel to the USA for big events. The 2028 Olympics organisers believe the ban won't affect the games.
Fans from banned countries can't go to the USA for events. This means teams might not have their fans cheering, which could be unfair.
Athletes from banned countries may have trouble returning to the USA after travelling for matches or visiting family.
Before, some athletes couldn't enter the USA for sports events due to travel bans. This affected football teams and players from certain countries.
The ban doesn't say what a "major sporting event" is. It's unclear if other sports events, like training camps, are affected.

The BBC is asking the US government and sports bodies for more details on the ban and its effects on athletes and events.

The USA will help athletes enter the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Olympics despite the travel ban. Organisers hope the events will go well.
