Some football officials from Germany and France have already expressed their concerns about participating in the tournament. Similar ideas have also been voiced in the British Parliament. The Economist notes that the issue is being discussed at the level of the European Parliament in Brussels.
Interestingly, calls for a boycott of the World Cup have been made before, for example, after American troops captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. At that time, it was suggested to strip the USA of the right to host the tournament, moving the matches to Canada and Mexico.
It is also worth noting that fans have begun protest actions: in one night, they returned about 17,000 tickets for matches that are supposed to take place in the USA.
