Germany urges boycott of 2026 World Cup over Trump Greenland acts

On 24 January 2026, a senior official of Germany’s football federation publicly urged European football associations to seriously consider boycotting the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The call followed President Donald Trump’s recent actions in Greenland, which the German official said caused political and humanitarian concerns. Trump’s involvement in Greenland’s political scene has already sparked protests in several European nations, and the federation’s leader cited the need to demonstrate solidarity with nations affected by Trump’s policies. The boycott would take place during the summer tournament slated to be hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Germany’s appeal reflects growing pressure across Europe for the football community to respond to political controversies involving the World Cup’s host nations.
